Good lord! How much did you spend total on this??? My first build was around 310$ProPirate
For $310 what components did you use? I used mostly mid-range parts for my recent first build. I think I spent a total of 700-800. My next one might be with a higher end, Intel chip, instead of my usually preferred AMD chip, but it will be much later.

And my family isn't rich so that was about all I could put into it. I found an excellent deal on Newegg for this ATI Radeon 5770 HD 1GB I think it was like $20 off the original amount which was like $120. Found a good quality motherboard for like $45 but started off with a junky dual core 3.1GHz intel processor. I've upgraded a bit since then so the total amount of money put in is probably around $510.
