After weighing everything I think I have arrived at what I am going to build. I would appreciate any comments before I place the order...

Definately change the graphics card. Atleast to a 9600GT which you can get on newegg for as low as $110 after rebates. If it doeant fit into the budget, get 2x1GB of ram and fit it into the budget. 8600GT/S is a pos.

I would get 2 gb of better ram instead of four cheap. And a 9600gt,I got mine for 99$.

Thanks for the help. Here's the deal....I don't play any games at all. I am running Vista Ultimate.

I do have 4 gig of ram now that is Qimonda PC2-5300 DDR2-667 that I could use, but was concerned about the compatibility with the motherboard.

If I used that memory...it's only going to see maybe 3 gig anyhow, I could afford a better video card. So what do you think??
TIA,
Irv

If you aren't do any gaming at all, then why the graphics accelerator? It might help if you laid out what you want to do with this system.

I'd be happy to do this. This machine is used for e-mail, Internet, occasional movie, word processing, Ebay, spread sheets. Occasionally I like to overclock just to see what I can do with it. If I'm barking up the wrong tree, please let me know.
I would like to be able to use the memory that I have. I want to run a 32 bit system.

Thanks,
Irv
