Actually now that i do the math, I'm only spending 100$ O.o i guessed 300-500 because i thought the graphics card would be a lot more than i thoughtOriginally Posted by Inferno.
Thanks =] but if you check one of my previous posts I have a link from TigerDirect =PTry this site here since your from Canada it's a great place to find what you need

They don't have extra power plugs, but they still draw current. And I've seen some pretty crappy PSU's in old machines like this...
Like inferno said, you could easily build a whole new system for that amount. That's crazy. I would just put together a nice new computer, that could probably blow your current machine out of the water.

My parents' ancient PC is running an ATI x1050 PCI-E 256MB on an ancient ~250W PSU.(Unbranded too.

If i want to rebuild a new computer I'd probably waste loads of money trying to make it top of the line o.o and i don't want to so that =P i want a laptop, which would be that laptop i posted about earlier, because I'm in need of a laptop =P
So far my computer is doing an amazing job =P and i want to keep it lol

500$ would probably built a very competent computer for gaming.
There is no reason to get rid of your old one. Keep it for a server or whatever.

Just what i was about to do actually =P

Wait, so are you building a new one? I'm confused now.
What he said. I built my first computer on a little over $300, and it was and still is quite a competent machine. As I'm sure everyone on here knows, it played Crysis. On high. And damnit, I have the benchmarks to prove it
Seriously, you would get much better value, and a much better end product if you just built a new one, not to mention you would be able to improve it later, where as the one you have now is pretty much topped out.

I'm gonna build a new computer, keep my old one (but still buy a graphics card for it ;]) and buy that new laptop. Thanks everyone =]

If you want some advice from a former computer builder, unless you want to mess around with possible hardware incompatibilities...
Find a machine online (In the best case, somewhere where you can custom build one.) that you think is pretty good, then find all of it's parts, with a similarly sized case on Newegg, and if it's a good total price, build it.

Thanks =] I've already done that through TigerDirect so I'll try Newegg now 8]

Hey, if tigerdirect is what you like, go for it.
I just use newegg cause they're cheap, and i've never had a bad experience with them.
