Ok good. I can save money on buying a new harddrive and use it for an SSD instead.

So what about CPU? Intel chips are undeniably faster, but a little out of my price range for now. It's the chip +...

Help building a modest budget PC.

I got some question on building a relatively cheap rig while salvaging parts from my old PC.

Here's the thing, I bought a PC from HP a few years ago for 300 dollars. It's a POS to say the least. I...

A few questions about PSU power.

I bought a new PC, but the PSU is only 250w and I can't plug my video card back in. I have an 8800 GS, so I was wondering how many watts should I aim for? I know the card says 400w, but my rig is...

I live in NYC.

No need for the 400W. I'm sure with my new CPU that uses even less power won't cause a problem for the 300W PSU. Actually, I might have a spare 400W hidden in my garage somewhere.

I also recommend you wait a few more weeks. With that kind of money, you should be able to get get your hands on some of the new cards coming out from ATI/Nvidia. Just sit back and wait awhile.

I think you mean 9600GT? With Nvidia cards, just because the number is bigger doesn't mean it's better. The 9600GT is a very good card, but not better than the 8800GT.
