    Didn't you already made a thread a while ago? Well from the looks of all the parts, they are very very out dated. socket 754 is not the way to go. You should get at least a 939, but if you got a little more money go with AM2. I already have a list of very good parts in the PC buyers guide(a sticky in this forum), check that out and see if any of them are in your budget.

    I did see your thread, but the problem is that I'm on a very tight budget since I'm only 15, and I have limited funds.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128301

    Now I need a new GPU, CPU, Hard Drive, etc. But I do have a mouse, key board, and CD/DVD Rom drives.

    Well, then I suggest a sempron 2800 and a DFI infinity motherboard in place the CPU/MOBO set up that you have.

    SKT 754 is BAD.

    Well, what are you planning on matching with that mobo?

    I would cut back on the CPU to buy a better video card.

    Lee, DDR 400 mother boards can't support DDR2 video cards right?

    P.S.-Found a cheaper mother board, but not by much:

    Non-sense. The only thing that you got to watch for on video cards is AGP or PCI-E.

    Also, that is not a motherboard.

    If you are doing that then just go with AM2, using every ultra low end parts I listed on my guide. They are the same price.

    The thing is that I'm on a very tight budget and it will be very difficult for me to buy the parts if they exceed $700 dollars. I want to buy things that are cheap, but worth the money, but that is difficult seeing as how I don't know too much about hardware.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231017

    Hard Drive:
    Same one you listed.

    Power Supply:
    -FPS Group AX-400PN: $41
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104953

    Video Card:
    The one you listed.

    Case:
    Cheapest one on Newegg. $10
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811212028
    Not as cheap but better looking: $20
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156053

    485, after rebate, without shipping.

    The shipping is probably going to be $15 - $20, so it would come out a little over $500.

    The RAM, Power Supply, and CPU, says the link does not exist.

    Thanks so much though,
