Use a PSU calculator = here You should be fine with a 500w PSU cutting $100 to $160 off of your price. New hardware requires less power now. I built my girlfriend a computer with this case: GIGABYTE gz-ph2a3 Black SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case It's fine and $111 cheaper. I had a pimp case at one time and trust me, it…
I see these: "need stability financially and in terms of lifestyle" and "I know that I'm not prepared to move from state to state every few years for the sake of work. Nor am I willing to stomach months of unemployment" And I immediately think that, unfortunately, games may not be the best thing for you at this point in…

Recently got an HD4650 after my old card got fried, but I cannot get it to work on this rig (which is by now almost 6 years old), so I'm considering ripping out all of the ancient guts out of this rig and put in some new gear, just need suggestions on what to get. I'm by no means a "hardcore" gamer, nor am I interested in…
Actually the 64 bit does have a noticible difference. More so than the upgrade between 6600GT - 6800, and that's in applications not writing to utilize it. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1469&page=1 The 64 bit 939 3200+ (which easily OCs... if you're into that ) is only 50 bucks more than the Socket A…
