Hi guys,
I recieved my Federal and State income tax refund money, and I decided that I'd pay off credit card debt with my Federal and "splurge" with my State refund of $698. After seeing these price drops, I said to myself, "Damn, I'm going build a new PC rather than upgrading my old rig."
Background
I do not consider myself an "extreme" gamer. My choice of gaming is limited to EASports video games. Relative to some of the games I hear about on this game, I don't believe that these games are more graphic intensive, but feel free to correct me. Bottom line, though, I want my gaming experience to be as smooth as water. Beautiful graphics, no stuttering, the whole nine yards. Other than that, I will be using this rig for searching the net, running Microsoft Office applications, and storing photos and music (among other typical Windows-related applications).
FYI, when helping me put together my rig, I:
1.Have to purchase an operating system, as I don't have one.
2.I already have a HD (WD Caviar 7200 rpm 8MBC SATA)
3.I have a CDR/RW.
4.I'd love my case to be silver and have a window (some lighting would be cool too)
5.Future upgradability is vital. I don't want build a completely new rig for at least 5 years or so.
6.I have no desire to overclock. Just a solid rig.
I guess I have a tight budget, but I really think I might be able to put something very solid together (perhaps AMD-based). I'm beginning to research parts, so I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for all of your help.

:lol: .Trust me, there's a reason why I didn't say how much I recieved in Federal refunds (let's just say a helluvalot) because you guys'd have me throw more into my PC. I don't want to spend too much on a PC that I won't be doing heavy gaming on, ya know? Especially when I'm getting an XBox 360 soon.
