I have been trying to find prices for the hardware but haven't been too successful. Any help in estimating the cost would be greatly appreciated...I've missed the choas that is office and need to get back in the action.

P.S Don't buy that one. DDR2, 9800 GT. Fail.

What resolution is your monitor?
What kind of HDD storage do you need?

Would you be looking to build your own or buy a prebuilt?
What resolution is your monitor?
What kind of HDD storage do you need?
Prebuilt, not sure i think 1600x1200, 500-750 GB

I set this up for you: its a pretty sweet rig for that price
If its not what you want, change whatever or check out other stuff on that site. They have some pretty nice prebuilts once you get past all of the BS

I wanted to move on to windows7 since I assume at some pnt MS will stop updating XP. Couple of which is better, why and is it worth the $ to get it questions: DDR3-1333 vs DDR3-1600 and AMD vs Intel. Will 700Watt PSU be enough? I have been using NVidia since the beginning and I wanted to try ATI this time around. Are the driver updates as much of a pain in the neck as Nvidia's?
Here's what I came up with let me know what ya think:

I don't really like iBuyPower's RAM policy, they don't give you specific options, just general outlines. You won't see much of a difference between 1333 ram and 1600 ram unless you need the better bandwidth or lower timings.
AMD is better price/performance but if you need the extra CPU power an i7 930 is the way to go.
For that rig you set up a 700w PSU would just fine.
About ATI driver updates: They come out much less often than nVidia drivers and make a MUCH bigger difference in performance.
