Alright, I built this computer about two years ago. I had no clue what I was doing and went completely off of suggestions, and have to say I was happy. My only complaint was that it was loudas hell.
Anyways, I've been out of the PC hardware scene ever since I built the computer and I'm looking to upgrade now. I have $1000 to spend.
Note: I need to buy a copy of Vista (can get for $75 from my university *I think* and I need a new monitor!) I also want to put in this card, or another type of it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082
Anyways this is what I have in my old machine, and I'm wondering if I have anything to work with or do I just need to go with all new parts?
