    Planning on building new budget system. Heres what i got so far

    Joe: thanks, but i'm gonna stick to what i have since its cheaper. The XP 1600+ processor costs too much, and the mobo is about the same price after shipping and conversion. All i needa decide on now is what video card to get.

    Planning on building new budget system. Heres what i got so far

    Planning on building new budget system. Heres what i got so far

    Joe: Thanks for the offer. Just to clarify, is that $400 USD Flat with shipping and taxes included in the $400 price already? Hmm, not bad, but a tad bit overpriced, though i could consider it.

    Richard: A-power.com has a 128 stick of DDR ram for $42. Hmm, a 256 stick of DDR is only $23 more, maybe i can pay for the difference myself (i dont wanna be like gouging my parents for money for a new PC). Hmm, though the 1.2GHz Duron sounds more impressive, i think ill take the extra...
