This is wierd. I was just thinking of building my own destop, since its cheaper than laptops and they have more variety, and I have experience with custom destops.

I just bought my Nividia Geforce 7800GS OC (AGP) a few weeks ago and another gig of memory yesterday via ebay(both items). My dad upgraded the "family" computer with a new motherboard and intel processor.

To make my custom computer all I need is a motherboard, chip, another gig of mem(total of 2 gig), and a case since I have the other items.

What are you planning to do w/ your PC? If you plan to play games, upgrade your processor. Other than that you have a decent setup.

One more thing, if you want a better selection of graphic cards, find a motherboard that supports PCI-e and AGP slots.
