It is time..

Well hopefully, this will be the beginning of a new computer for me. I am hoping that I will be able to go and buy some new parts, and upgrade this antique computer. I like the computer just fine, but I think that its 6 year old parts need some upgrades. So today I reformated my other computer, and now its all for my sister. This computer will hopefully get new parts, and become an elite computer.
Things I need to buy:
  1. New motherboard (gigabyte ga-p35? only 100)
  2. New CPU (whichever one gives the most bang for its buck)
  3. New graphics card (128mb or 256mb will suffice)
  4. Network card (want a motherboard with wireless on it)
  5. another HD (i really really wish for a Western Digital Raptor, but that is only a dream)
  6. some 120mm fans to keep my computer quiet
  7. RAM (hmm so cheap, maybe 4gigs then)
That is all I can think of for now. This is only a rough outline of what I want, later on I will search up prices and then hopefully it will be done. I can't wait.

UPDATE: Bought CPU e8400, bought GPU 8600 gt

haha yeah ive been looking for stuff, and i see that its pretty cheap now. I found something i wanted on craigslist
Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi/AP Socket 775 Motherboard
Intel Core2Duo "Conroe" E6600 2.4Ghz
Zalman CNPS9500LED Heatsink/Fan
4x1GB PC5300 DDR2 RAM
500W UltraXConnect Modular Window Sleeved Power Supply

for $400, which isn't a bad deal at all. But I emailed him and he said that he would get back to me tomorrow if it wasn't sold by then. I also found 2 36GB raptor drives, which I think i will get and set up RAID 0
