I am gonna upgrade the video. It runs any game fine tho. What's a good PCI-E 16X video card? It's not PCI-E 2.0.

Are these from parts or are you buying these?
There are a lot of things that could be upgraded here. Got a budget?

You ordered already. The Pentium 840 EE is 05 chip. That P5B-e is still a good P965 board. It will be nice if you can get the E2xxx or E5xxx on it.

I already bought em. Built the entire system for less than $500. My friend sold me the cpu, motherboard, and video card for $100. My other PC got hit by the ice storm we had a few weeks back. Glad my friend helped me out.

Oh, thank goodness! I thought that you just bought these! For $100 that is a really good deal! You should be able to hit 4GHz easily!
