Alright I am in need of a new computer. Basically the one that I have right now is shit.
I only have a 500 dollar budget to spend. To save money I am just going to be using my current case and powersupply.
What I need
Motherboard
RAM
Graphic Card
Hard Drive(Not necessary but would be cool)
Processor.

Also I hate posting this shit because I don't know a whole lot about computers but Womb Raider told me to.:)
What will the PC be used for?
and what do you currently have to see whats possible to keep
what kind of power supply do you have?
I have an antec 500 watt power supply.
It is just an old HP that I kinda upgraded. A shitty 1.8GHZ processor, AMD, a 1600 PRO raident Graphic Card, 1gb of ram(2 512 sticks), a shitty motherboard that sucks.
It well mostly be used for Graphic Design along with LIGHT gaming such as Team Fortress 2 and CS.
I hope that helps.
Thanks a lot dumez I really appreciate it.
Before I go and buy all of that can other people verify that would be the best deal for my crappy price range?
Thanks
Kyle.

i dont know much about radeon cards, but if its around the same as an nvidia 8600, consider the one i got
edit: it is 256, vs the radeon's 512 though
plot, why not shell out like 40 more dollars and get a much more powerful card than the 8600

i have an 8800gt too and i run fallout 3 on highest settings with 20fps.
dod:s spikes up to 150 fps, tf2 usually 80, and wow i have an average of 50fps anywhere, with raids usually dropping only as low as 20
This is the card I have.
btw the reviews lie about crysis
crysis and C warhead work fine for me.
pros: its only 90 bucks and its i gb and nice
cons: not to powerful, cant run crysis without lag in high graphics settings
low runs fine
it runs all valve game just perfect.
i paid 100$ like 2 months ago
