    Mailpup listed a great budget build. That's pretty much what I put in my budget computers myself, although the case and psu vary.

    However, i'd really hate to see you cheap out on the keyboard/mouse. I/O devices are what make a computer pleasant to use.

    But i'm spoiled on a Logi VX Revolution, what do I know :)

    Part of the fun of building a PC (at least for me) is putting together a list of components and checking for some deals. Newegg's wishlist system makes that so easy. Depending on what you want or need, there are so many combinations to choose from. When you build your first PC, there is nothing quite like the satisfaction of assembling the PC, pressing the "on" button and seeing the PC come to life for the first time.

    Indiglo, you may be able to recover the data on your hard drive by installing it as a second drive on your nice new self-built PC. :) Complete your build first, install Windows, drivers, updates, etc., then hook up the old hard drive and see if you can recover the data. Others who know more than I can give you specific steps.
