I will fix that current memory issue asap. Secondly, I am Canadian, so sadly those prices will be a little higher for me. My current budget is only about 600 CAD. Which might cover all that, but not the tax and shipping. Hmm. You've given me a lot to think about. =) | ||

But I'm scared to mess around with my BIOS, even to overclock my machine. You might want to look up some guides through google before proceeding. I deal better with the hardware side of computer stuff than the BIOS/software stuff. | ||

I deal better with the hardware side of computer stuff than the BIOS/software stuff. Yeah. It actually wouldn't let me change it, or atleast nowhere I could find. If you have any extra time and still wanna help me out, you can try and go to newegg.ca (canadian pricing) and make me a rig that will cost me around 800-900 dollars? If not, that's cool. =) I really appreciate the help dude. =D | ||

Some questions to ask: - Do you want a new monitor with this set up? - Does this include a mouse and keyboard? - Do you want other peripheals (printer, card reader, TV tuner, etc.)? - Do you want a Blu-Ray player? These are rather expensive right now so they will affect the rest of the build - Do you care if it's AMD or Intel? - Do you care if it's NVidia or ATI? | ||

No, No, No, No, No, Not really, but sorta leaning towards Nvidia. Always have been. =) | ||

Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 ATX Mid Tower $65 Power Supply: BFG Tech GS-550 550W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V V2.8 SLI Ready $80 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard $170 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor $210 Memory: OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit $81 Video Card: GIGABYTE GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Supported Video Card $180 Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s $75 DVD Player: SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner SATA $30 Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit $150 Total Cost: $1,040 A few ways to save money on this set up is to use your old case and to buy Vista Home Basic 64-bit. I'm not too keen on Home Basic because they cut out too many features. You have to be absolutely sure that your case can fit all of this stuff, though. As the power of computers have increased, so has their size. Motherboards, Power supplies, and video cards are the worst offenders of this. You may just want to stick with upgrading your old rig, but with $800-$900 you could also pick yourself up a new, bigger, faster hard drive on top of all the other things I mentioned in my earlier post. | ||
