Building a new computer!
Justin K.:
Get rid of that graphics card. It's pretty bad.
CC:
If you can afford more on the graphics card go for a GTS 250. They're a bit over $100 and are really nice cards.

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.

Used has a greater potential to be broken/worn out.
