I have a

GF 7800 gt 256mb pci-e

And 2 gigs of ram(ddr)

So all I'm looking for is a New
MB
CPU
And maybe a new PS

I've got $295 total to spend.

thanks for any info.

And sorry if this is in the wrong forum


I'll get PS specs after the launch party

One thing I do remeber it was 400, but the PS was bought about 4 years ago, so i dont know if it would work our not.

I'm currently running a AMD Athlon 1.2 optimized to 1.6.

sorry no fry's close, I think closes one is like 8 hours way

If you live close to fry's you could pick up one of their cheap cpu/mobo combos.

You aren't likely to get a good CPU and MoBo that is compatible with DDR RAM, IMO. Except maybe a cheap AM2.

AM2 aint gonna cut it with DDR1. ;)


I imagine he can find a socket 939 X2 cpu, a 939 board, and a new PSU for less than $300.
