if i buy a retail version of windows does that mean if i do a format or change a mobo i can use the same CD and ket right as many times as i want on 1 PC any time right?

Yes; that is why full retail versions are the most expensive.

Maybe not, but I never use any plugins as most slow down the browser. Right now I'm only using Flashblock for Chrome which only works half the time anyway.

lol.. So you think a $190 GTX 460 1GB is "an excuse for a graphics card?" :P Or a $135 5770?

Really and beyond the mid range?

Google + Chrome. Everything else is likely to die anyway.

That is a poor PSU but a 5770 should do it, you are pushing that PSU though. It does support the connectors, so that is something.

can't also uninstall my current mobo drivers and just install the new one with the drivers that board comes with??

Are you clean installing?

What PSU is it?

[QUOTE="tequilasunriser"] A gaming PC can also be built for $500. What's your point?tequilasunriser

$500? The GPU is $250, unless you game at 1280x720.

Of course you don't, however, you don't needa gaming computer either do you?

A gaming PC can be built for $1K, not 3.
