D; Damnit. Can you point me in the right direction? If you couldn't tell, I'm a noob.

Ok guys, here's the deal: I'm selling my old PC. It's a Dell Dimension 4550, although I hot it from a friend, so I'm not sure it still has all of it's stock parts. Just wiped and reinstalled XP, SP2. Also comes with Norton AntiVirus 2005. Extremely small hard drive, only 20GB. =/ With 256 RAM...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Bootcamp. If for nothing else, just to shut some of my friends up. "Dude omg u r a noob windows has the mos-- ...oh."

Hello, CAGs!! I'll keep this short and sweet. I plan on buying the following for some -casual- gaming. World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike:Source, etc. However, mainly World of Warcraft. Think she can handle it? I have no doubts, but I don't want to be a dumbass, so i'm looking for...

UPDATE: Ok, I wiped AGAIN and installed xp, and all problems were fixed. But regardless, that is good advice, Richie. Thanks.

I just wiped and reinstalled Windows 2k on my pc, and the graphics look absolutely horrible. I mean, like comic-book-taped-to-my-monitor horrible. I've concluded that the reason is that I don't have the latest driver for my graphics. It's a really cheap stock machine, just to get me by, A Dell...

Whats up guys, representin' the Alief area, just outside the city limits.

Can anyone tell me the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D when it comes to monitors and video cards, if there is a difference?

Yeah, I'm actually looking at cases right now. But every damn time I find a good one, it's ruined with a few customer reviews, claiming that either the power button sticks, or the screw-less mounts fall off. Can you suggest anything better, kokroach? or anybody?

Thanks kainzero, I really appreciate all the advice. And no offense to you, but... Can anyone else back him up with getting one 8800GT instead of using dual SLI as I'd mentioned earlier, and about using Intel instead of AMD? It's not that I don't trust you kain, I just have to be sure that I'm...

Now that I think about it Redline, I could use a burner. Can you make any suggestions? (The link you provided sends me to an error page on NewEgg, thegamer4787. Sorry. :/)

Okay, I've picked most of what I need so far, except for the motherboard... I think. Let me know If i'm missing anything, or if you have any recommendations for replacing what's on the list. I'm open to change. Also, please, please let me know if any of these are horribly outdated, as I would be...

I haven't done much looking in the PSU area yet, do you have any suggestions? When it comes to price, I'm willing to spend what needs to be spent so I don't find myself crying over a blown power supply. I still want to keep it within reason though. Here's what I've decided on so far; Chassis -...

Sounds like a good deal, thanks mrelusive. quick check: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208008 Is this a steal? It looks like it to me, but again, I'm not the most knowledgeable of people. Comes with 2x120mm fans, an intake up front and an exhaust in the rear. Also...

thegamer4787, is the PC you're building a gaming PC? And if so, do you plan on sticking with the motherboard you first mentioned?
