From newegg this is going to cost around $545 dollars (some parts im going to carry over from my old computer)
I had some horrible failure which i suspect is based on my motherboard grounding on the metal case, and my computer is toast. I built it in 2005 with only minor upgrades since than, so its crazy old, and has been nothing but trouble for years. This guide was written early this year, and seems to be alright, i dont expect anything amazing for the money, but would it be able to run most games on high graphics with decent FPS? Below is a list of parts, the link at the top of the page has newegg.com links for more info.
Im willing to plunk down a little more on the GPU, but i wanna keep the total budget under 600 (moniter, speakers nonwithstanding, im only talking about parts in the case) with Dual video cars definately in my future, but not having a computer sucks, what do you guys think?
