ok my current pc is falling apart and there is no way i am willing to revive it. so i have decided either to build a new pc ment for gaming (on an extremly small budget 430$) or a xbox 360 with a year of live and a couple new games. I am not really that great with pcs and the xbox has no assembly.so tell me what you think i should do?

if you want a screaming fast pc you should get a 10,000 rpm hdd they dont affect in game proformance but it boots and loads programs in seconds. especially if you are willing to spend a lil extra cash and get two in raid 0

that is really weird. i would call the manufacturer cause if it says your are supposed to have two more it either means your was F#@$ed up or someone on the assembly line played a joke on you.

sounds good the mother board is a decent chipset and it has expansion slots for another graphics card (sli), the only problem is the ram, if you want it to be fast 2 GB should be enough but the mhz is a little slow look for somthing with 800mhz go to tigerdirect.com or newegg and look at some of their corsair dual channel ram make sure it is the DDR2 (cause that is what the 680i lt takes) and replace the stock ram with that it will speed up you pc a lot! and it should only cost you 40 or 50 $

My pc restarts after freezing several times in all games. i have a average temperature of 95 degrees ferenheit and i have an under powered psu and i am getting a new one, but i dont think that the psu is the problem because on the last time it restarted windows came up with a error messege that says i recoverd from a serious error and then i took me to a microsoft link that said i had driver problems. i downloaded the new driver for my nvidia 6200 and installed it, there are no new ones for my processor or motherboard so what driver could it be please help im not really that computer savvy.
