I posted in GD yesterday or 2 days ago about building a new computer, and here's what I put together. I thought I'd see what you guys think
Processor: Here AMD Phenom 8450 Toliman 2.1GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Triple-Core Processor Model HD8450WCGHBOX - Retail $89.99 Motherboard: Here GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3 AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $74.99 GPU: Here BIOSTAR VA4352NH56 Radeon HD 4350 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail $37.99 Case w/fan: Here COOLER MASTER Centurion 534 RC-534-KKRB-GP Black Aluminum & Mesh bezel / SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 460W Power Supply - Retail $89.99 Memory: Here Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664AA80A - Retail $47.99 Hard drive: Here Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM $74.99 Total with shipping: $445.48 I can get Vista Ultimate from my school for around $14 and I already have office as well as Kaspersky Internet Security. I mostly want to just run pictures, music, and movies with no problems whatsoever, and also maybe play some older games like Age of Empires II, Starcraft, and Command and Conquer Generals. That'd be about the extent of my gaming, this would do me pretty well right? ETA: adding the links, all from newegg |

Or, I guess you could put them on a thumb drive. |
