I have to buy all my computer components from newegg.com . Considering Bestbuy charges graphics cards like the 8600GTS for $279 ...

You could look into the ATI HD 2600, if you can find a good deal on that, you can find them for like $100 or $80. (don't know what that is in pounds)

Other then that, your upgrade will be better then mine. I am stuck with my 939 4000+, atleast I have it at 3.0 Ghtz.

I've never really looked into AMD processors much, how will that duel core run compared to the E4400?

I can't really buy from newegg since they charge alot to ship to UK. And as a rule of thumb with the current exchange rate, if it's in £ double to get $ if it's $ half to get £ :).

So I could run, the mobo, processor, graphics card you chose (Luminous) the 1gig ram, and the 350w PSU I picked?

And it would be able to run WoW maxed with addons, C&C medium settings and some basic fps like CS:S and some orange box?

i guess a e4400 would make it a stock 2.2ghz.

4000+ @ 3ghz?! great job lol

Yeah definately get some new thermal paste! Good god man, 3 more degrees and i'm pretty sure the CPU will shut itself down to avoid damge.Grayzer

lol i think thats closer to 65-80

...hehe...97, thats ridiculous.

why didn't you just get an 8800 of some sort.

im like

Quad core: AWESOME
4 gigs of ram: AWESOME
sli 8600: huh?

noby is perfect.blackleather223

lol

did i over look it or does it not say what type of ram that mobo takes.

so basicly you're building a new PC and using your old monitor, keyboard, and case?

save up for a better cpu and gpu.....just save up for better than that.

[QUOTE="blazethe1"]really? monitors come standard with an AV to DVI/VGA cable? none that ive gotten, in fact i made it up, it might not even exist. it's likely though.Luminouslight
