    using an old emachine,

    only thing different from the specs are that I have a 1 gig along with an old Radeon™ X800 PRO

    looking to keep the hard drive, Media Reader, cd player. dvd driver is broken, will need to be replaced

    I'm thinking of going with this

    CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5 - Reta

    and AMD Athlon II X2 240 Regor 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103688

    I just need some help with the best option for a motherboard and a decent gaming card, like a $100 one or so

    I only want to be able to do my school work without my damn pc crashing all the time due to programs being open.

    If you want to increase your graphics card for a bit more money , but not severely i would suggest

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150441

    that is if the motherboard you chose also supports ati chipsets (i didnt read it)

    or you could knock the ball out of the park for a bit and get one of theses

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143189

    and that would keep you running well for a while.

    You stupid fuck. How the fuck have you had a dozen great video cards over the past few years, yet you don't play a goddamn thing that requires a card like that. Send me whatever card you had before the 260GTX, asshole.
