That's the best you'll get :|

In my recommendation, don't rebuy stuff you don't need, things like a keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, case and even power supplies and dvd-drives can be reused.

Hmm this is hardto start from scratch but i have choosen a case--   Link  http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=CA-859BK3&cm_mmc=GoogleProducts-_-ComputerCases-_-PCCases-_-CA-859BK3&utm_source=GoogleProducts&utm_medium=ShoppingSites&utm_campaign=CA-859BK3


Now with that being said, could get a list of goodparts,yes i am starting from scratch and my budget will probably be around $500-$800.

All i have ismy case picked.

Hmm i was going to try to build one one time, but then told i should notand to think about more of complicated parts of assembly. Now my cousin said he knows how and will do it for me so i am going to be doing this after i go on a mini-vacation thingy, because i will probably spend all of my money there. Oh what i was getting at is, oh yeah i don't like thecase the one i was getting might be more money, but i will have a higher budget than $200, but unlike you i am starting from scratch.
First of all, what does this have to do with the subject?  And second, what do you mean, starting from scratch?  If you mean building a computer completely, then yes, I actually AM starting from scratch.

Also, I can tell you're going for looks, not price or function.  Did you even bother to look at consumer reviews?  It took me hours to find products that matched and that were good by consumer standards.  I doubt you spent as much time.

No, because I don't know your criteria.  Do some research.

Nice, thanks, will do.

EDIT:  Perfect, it may still be within my budget! (maybe lower if I reuse more parts)

Just a heads up its not always about looks, its about if it works AND looks good.

I like it, but it uses PCI Express 2.0, and the card only has regular PCI express.  Ideas?
PCI-E 2.0 cards are compatible with motherboards that only support support PCI-E and vice versa.


Open Box motherboards on Newegg don't come with any cables.

NO.

A PCI-E 2.0 card will work fine in a regular PCI-E slot.

Really?  Well, the other card is cheaper anyway.

Read, anyone?  My budget is $200 plus what ever else I can earn.  I'm setting a goal of earning $150 or so, so there is some leeway.  As for the graphics, my current graphics card is older than this one and it does fine. 
I would appreciate a link.
What's wrong with used?
Thanks for the CPU tip though.
I don't really need THAT much power...
Unlike you, I have to earn ALL my money, I don't get allowance.
Thanks, if I end up with enough, then I'll go with this.
I don't get allowance too, and my mother spends all the money I save up :(

Hope that this will give you some suggestions.
