This one I built on my own it was fun. Wanna do it again. I just need little direction.

- don't cheap out on your case, you'll regret it
- you forgot a psu, also don't cheap out on that.
- don't narrow your ram choices to just kingston. there's a lot of better ram out there for better prices
- same w/mobo's, don't narrow yourself to one brand. just see the different options out there for your price range.
- i'd suggest an e6300 or e6400 intel processor for your upgrade.

do NOT get kingston, shittiest memory ever, go with Corsair or OCZ.

I have both OCZ and Kingston in my current setup 2 gigs, I don't really see the problem since I don't overclock or tweak I just keep stock setting everything runs good. I just wanna get my fps from the 25-50 i get now to 75-100. Hope fully I can get his done.

Intel just did their price cuts today, e4300= 135 $

[Mike2077]

Don't get the thermaltake psu. Get corsair 620 model, thing is f*cking great.
