trying to build a new gaming rig on tigerdirect.ca for around $900. the system doesn't need a monitor, speakers, case, or keyboard/mouse as i already have these. This is what I have so far. tell me if these are good, bad, or just down right ugly:
Motherboard: Biostar TP35D2-A7 SE Motherboard - 5.0, Intel P35, Socket 775, ATX, Audio, PCI Express, Gigabit LAN, USB 2.0, Serial ATA - $121.99
