550W would be ample, however if you got at least a 600W that'd leave a great margin for a CPU upgrade down the track.

I'm not going through anymore stress.

Oh no! my CD drive covers came dislodged! My hair is falling out!

but I'm not waiting 3 weeks for the people who said they'd help me with this to come back and actually do so.

Where the forget are all those people who were helping me before? The ones who knew these components they were showing me.

Oh no! My CD drive covers came dislodged! Make Ethan get up in the middle of the night to fix it!

invited.

I was just going to send you my email so you could email me back.

Some people like this stuff private and the way you worded it sounded like you wanted your email private.

I wouldn't worry too much. I've taken it out now anyway. Thanks :)

It sounds like you need a new video card. What's your budget?
I'm used to posting something like that in these sorts of topics :D
But yeah, your father is an ass

Well this is great, I can't PM.
By the way, the email in my profile isn't active anymore.

I'll censor it somewhat so spambots don't pick it up.

Replace numbers with proper letters.

I'm running XP, and I'd like to install 7. I have friends that can get me copies, (legitimately, mind you) for very cheap. ($30 to $50!)

Very good. So I take this into the budget or is it a side thingy? Cause it sounds like you don't know exact price.

Whats wrong with it

GPU, old Athlon, dual core, prebuilt, with the possibility of sticking a great GPU in it and loving bottlenecking it to the max.

This is obtainable.
Before I start, any special requests?
Do you have any current copies of Windows Vista / 7? As it's $100 and would chip in very much to the budget.
Thirdly, You sure you want to do this now? It's a long way from XMAS, and by then, Bulldozer will be out which will drive down the price of current Phenoms, etc.

Is it just the display or can you hook up other monitors fine?
If you're sure it's the monitor, a little capacitor might have popped in the monitor, causing the backlight to seize. This is very easy to fix, all it requires is a 10¢ part. There are tutorials online how to do this, my brother salvaged lots of monitors with this.
Disregard, I just seen that it was a CRT monitor.
Get an LCD one. They're cheap now-a-days, and consume less energy.

Nonono, I think you read wrong. His personal monitor is a CRT.

well
I'm not good with parts of computers, but I'm good with using one. :/

Unless you want a heavy duty gaming GPU, they range from $30 to $70-80 for the basic ones.

Serious answers

Bad graphics card, so maybe 30k bricks without lag.

Whoever built your computer doesn't now much and things that CPU is everything.
