I can understand that, but this is a huge upgrade for me to near cutting edge technology at a very little cost to me, now does anyone have any good recommendations for the following:
SATA HDD
PCI Express Video Card
DDR2 RAM
Would like to keep everything probably under $500 or so.

My Current Rig:
AMD 1.4GHz/266MHz bus
1GB PC2100 DDR
Thanx Dijital.

get yourself a pair of raptor 10.000 rpm sata hd and set thrm in raid 0
Is the biggest perfomace i ever got from any upgrades.
Installing xp in less than 30 min it's a joy ;)

Btw how did you get such a great deal ???
Me need something like that to now that summer is here and my OC system is starting to steam up............LOL
was it one of this deal: http://www.shop-intel.com/shop/speci...B-8FAD3AB07EAB

what speed id the processor in that offer?

for the vid card i think at present the only pcix card of choice are the 6600gt but if you can wait you will be able to get one of the new coming 6800 pcixpress
if you can't wait get your hand on one of this: http://bfgtech.com/6600GT_PCIX.html

About memory the choice is only about on how much you want to spend and overclock.

Take care

Yes that is the one from that deal, but it is for retail employees/resellers only. I had to complete a bunch of questions and surveys till I earned about 7000 chips, which I currently have about like 8900. Sony, can you provide links and prices of what to get for hdd,ram, and new case possibly as well? I'm a bit out of the loop now, so I need the shit :)
For RAM I'm looking at 512MB or more. The CPU runs at 3.4GHz HT :)
Probably would also prefer a ATI chipset, and don't wanna spend more than $150 - $200 on a videocard.

Too bad the rest of us couldn't get that great deal. I would be willing to answer a few surveys and stuff for a great deal like that.

I've suggested this before, but maybe the admins would consider putting togethr a deals forum or something I could make countless posts, I find stuff on everything from computers to video games, to pc games etc.. Dirt cheap too!!
Like I got the following for $54 shipped: Rainbow Six 3 Xbox, Super Smash Brothers Melee GC, Super Mario Sunshine GC, F-Zero GX GC
