I need to build a secondary computer and I am looking for something under $500 with no OS. If windows 7 is still free then I plan on using that or linux. I was thinking a dual core min of 2.4 ghz, 3 or 4 gigs of ram, a mobo (something that gets the job done). and like a 500 gb hard drive. Since I will be replacing my xfx 9800 gt with a gts 250 (I am open to suggestions). I don't need a video card for my secondary build, for I will already have one. Thanks links to tigerdirect and newegg would be great!

You won't get much better performances going from a 9800 GT to a GTS 250(wich is a rebranded 9800 GTX+) You should at least with a 4870\GTX 260 216 cores
