Any improvements/suggestions are appreciated

Okay, how about this one? http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-PNY-PNY-TEC ... I-VGA-HDTV

But my mom is suggesting that i get a new computer when i get a job, and if i do get one it'll probably be something similar to this

Comments/Suggestions welcome , and is it a good deal if i do get it?

For that video card to work, you need a PCI-E slot, something that MB doesnt have.
I have a GeForce 7600 ultra

i would do a good research and order the pc in parts, building it is easy if your goof with lego

Since you do not have the PCI-E option...

just remember when looking for a card/mb... that PCI and PCI express are not the same slot.

I would too, but its such a nuisence because you have to make sure everything is compatable with each other, you gotta make sure ur motherboard can support processor/gfx/ram/etc. then you gotta get a psu that can handle everything and maybe liquid cooling just to make sure ur comp doesnt explode lol

i have just bought my pc in parts and put it together, works like a charm . if i were you i would go to a pc shop with good service,
sit down with an expert fromt that shop and tell ur budget and what u want and im sure he will give you a list with compatible parts

I'll do that for sure when i have a job, the best deals for anything comp related is http://www.everbest.on.ca

Official Computer Retard Thread

I swear that's what I came into this for, I thought that was the title.

Lol I had exactly the same as you, it's that you said it else i'd still think it was named that oO..

Anyways I got a special site for that, with a pricewatch and everything, but it's Benelux only (Netherlands + Belgium + Luxembourg)

If your motherboard doesn't support PCI-E, I suggest saving up a bit, buying a new one so you can put in DDR2 ram as well, not to mention a new processor.

The 7600 is a very stable, proven, and realiable card. It's worth the 20 or so extra bucks to get the GT version which is a HUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEE upgrade over the basic models.

Okay, im gonna look at newegg for more parts and stuff.


My next question, okay i just got off counterstrike cuz it was getting hella laggy, so i checked my processes to see whats lagging and my hl.exe is still on it, and when i try to end the process it doesnt move, how do i get it off?! T__T

If you are a gamer and want to play w/~360 graphics then go with nvidia 8xxx series. <3 my 8800
If you're thinking about keeping your mobo until your next gpu upgrade then definitely go with one that's PCI-E compatible.
Also, if the gpu you get is a PCI-E then you'll have to get a psu that has a 6 pin connector.

7600s don't require additional power.

Go with 1gb or more of ram.

SLi that baby and you have a great cost-conscious upgrade.
You might as well throw in 2gb since that's become the recommended amount crimson.

H'okay, new question, this time regarding my internet

My internet keeps disconnecting and connecting every like 5 seconds, sometimes it stays connected for like 30 miuntes then it goes back to disconnecting a lot. Yes i have a router, and i think that might be the problem because its wireless and anybody could use my internet because i dont have a WEP or WPE w.e it is, how to i make a WEP/WPE for my router so not just anybody can get in?

just a question, do u think my system is good enough to handle 10 mmo games?

Yup, that's my next upgrade is a 2nd 7950. 1gb total of video memory between them. It's gonna kick ass.

Never forget to run msconfig and turn off everything non-essential!

When I turn on my pc, the loading bar at the windows splash page doesn't even reach half before my computer is loaded, and windows loads instantly.
