Ok So I can finally upgrade my computer. Well it really like buying a new computer.
The only parts I'm re-using is the CPU, PS, and DVD burner.
OK first of all is my budget it 500 period. I can't go over that because my wife would kill me.
These are going to be the parts that I re-use. I like the CPU so don't offer me a Core2Duo. I know the new ones are the best but that will be for a later upgrade.
Ok here it goes.
Intel 945 CPU 3.4 Ghz Dual Core processor
430 Watt Toughpower PSU (I don't know if this will run the new video card i want to get)
Sony DVD burner.
OK here is the list if the new parts I want to get. Now all the prices I found were from newegg. If you guys can find something cheaper and be of better quality then by all means go ahead and let me know.

I thought of all the basic components for this system. The only thing I'm iffy on is the PSU that I'm re-using. I know that 430 would probably be alright for this system but I'm know sure about the 12-volt rail. I would like you guy's help on what you think. This is going to be mainly used for gaming so I thought I did pretty good for the price and what components I chose. The only real reason I chose that case was because of the size of the heatsink on the Mobo. I looked for the biggest, fattest, case that I could find that was cheap and that was what I found. I even looked for the size specs on that video card and I couldn't find any. Idk. I'm going to be ordering those parts next week so any advice I could get would be great.
Also to let you guys know is I've already built 3 other systems so I'm pretty comfortable with the whole putting together my stuff. I just don't want to be treated like a noob. Thanks.
