So, here's my situation.
My computers like breaking.
Right now, my best is a P4 with a 6600GT, and 1GB of 266 RAM. I also have a 4830 sitting around.
I have about $200 to do my best with, and I was wondering what I should go for.
I was wondering if I should take the P4, put it on a new mobo, and add the 4830 to that. Or, I could go with maybe something like this, with a new motherboard, but then I would have to buy almost a whole new computer.

Halp me with my indecisiveness.

Well, I could probably butcher something from my old computer in terms of the dvd, hdd, and maybe the PSU.
right now I'm just thinking about the MB, CPU and the RAM though, unless I should just start fresh.

Alright. as long as the PSU is good enough there shouldnt be a problem there

you do, maybe not him.
if he doesn't then he has no need for an aftermarket cooler. Especially on a tight budget.

Alright, right now it looks like I'll be going for this partnered with this.
I really want the Freezer64, but after the S&H it looks like there's no room for it.
I might also need a new PSU, because I just realized this one doesn't have any SATA ports.
