Hey, I'm new here!

Just a quick question of what should I build with an ABIT BH6. Found this motherboard at a friend's house and took it home for free. I looked it up only to find it's a retro board. I tested it and everything is working with it. I just don't know what I should build with it. I'm looking to make a late 90s gaming PC with it. I just need more hardware. Any help would be great.

The following list would make a fine basic/starter-machine. Not that you could get better hardware, just that it's nice parts for some basic fun.

CPU: Pentium-III 800 to 1000mhz
Ram: 512mb
HDD: 80 to 120gb
GFX: Something like Voodoo3, Matrox G400, Geforce2-GTS/Pro/Ultra to GF4-ti4200+ (or a pair of V2's if V3 is not chosen, paired with the G400)
Sound: AWE64-Gold

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
