    hmm, maybe il sell this, count my money, and buy a completly new one, let me see how much money i can get, il be back to you and i live in the uk btw.. probly only means i buy from different stores though.

    ok i've got 1,800 dollars

    i want the best computer i can get for 1,800 dollars, already have mouse/moniter/speakers, will need a new case and everything inside from scratch, and i have no knowledge of building computers atall.

    i wanna run newest game max graphics high fps!!!!"!!!! or something near to that

    actualy, getting it to 1,400 would be very useful as i wont have the other 400 for a while and i want the comp asap

    so right now i need help as for what to get, and i basicly need every little detail down the the connection wires etc. i dont know much atall

    Well Crappy motherboard, case, powersupply isnt very helpful, actualy give us the names, watts and other stuff.

    The graphics card itself isnt worth very much, If you plan on selling this you'll need to upgrade most of the parts to up-to-date items like a nVidia 6800+ ( a 7800 prefered because most games cant run with a 6800 or they will but with minimal performance )

    Hope I helped :D

    selling it for 400 dollars got a buyer and hes a friend anyway so if its under i dont care same if its over which it probably is, read my post i edited that out since you replied, and also my powersupply and stuff was earlier posted by me anyway 8D

    I got around 11000 3dmarks in 3Dmark 2001 with an AGP P4 system with a 2729MHz P4 Northwood and a 9800PRO. He should be able to get around 20000+ in 3dmark2001 with his system and a 7800GS.
