I'm at the point now where I'd like to piece out building a new computer to be a Entertainment and Work powerhouse. The one I have right now, the case I've had since 2004 and it's just time to move on. I've had enough of having okay to medicore hardware because it doesn't fit what I do. The goal is to have a machine that can handle Adobe's Catalagoue of software but mainly After Effects. I want a machine that can render out things quickly; a machine that is a significant improvement than what I have right now, that can handle my work related needs with lots of RAM and Video card power, and at night enjoy it for my entertainment needs.
I'm willing to post the links of the components and make sure everything is compatible. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with that. I'm pretty certain everything is but I want any recommendations I can get.
I want to first start by stating my current PC specs;
AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.6ghz
Kingston 3.25gb RAM
Windows XP (32bit version)
Western Digital 500gb sata
FOXCONN A7VMX-S/A7VMX-K/A7GMX-S/A7GMX-K motherboard
Now I was thinking of these for an upgrade;
ASUS Hudson D4 Micro ATX

My new case I'm getting is particualarly special because with this mother board being a Micro, the motherboard panel folds outwards, making it easier to access. However, if you know of a mother board that is better than this, rather it be Mid or Micro, TELL ME. I'd like to know of any recommendations you may have. I don't really care which type it is because my case will fit both but I liked this one in particular for a number of reasons, no on board video is a feature etc. I also liked this board for the onboard sound.
