I think you should take money away from the parts that don't matter (keyboard, case, etc.) and put that money into the things that matter the most (processor, monitor, etc.)

[EndrenXL]

BTW, the subtotal is $1,081.91

Do you really need the speakers, keyboard, mouse, and monitor?  Also, this graphics card has more memory than the one you have there.

[General Nick]

Yeah, if you still have a working keyboard, mouse and case you really don't need them unless they're breaking/falling apart/only one case fan.

Haha, that's my video card :)

EEW. What the forget? You're paying $102 for a dual core Athlon when you could be getting a 2.6Ghz quad core Athlon for $99 which uses the same socket.

Its the one that I should've bought, my Sapphire card keeps crashing when I play L4D.
EDIT:  Its too late to RMA it...

Also, I'm giving my old monitor my bro, (probably) and my keyboard is turning into Dvorak, while my mouse is going to be used on my old computer.

So,
yeah

BTW, the game I first want to play on this is Mercenaries 2.

EDIT: thanks n0cturni

Wo wo, I noticed no fans to cool that lovey pile of computer :)

I suggest if you have a bit more money, try to get some fans in there to cool that down.
You probably wont need fans but, I have a AMD quad core and it raised my room temp by like 7-9 degrees.
However the colder the better. :)

Good point, my brother had that same problem.

Also,  this is about all I can spend.

Bump because this is important :D
