$800 dollars for PC(building)

[Candle12]

This will be my first build, so I don't want to spend that much money. I have limited my budget to around $800 dollars.
What can I possibly get for $800 dollars?

The computer would be used for gaming.

Also, I'm using a really old computer right now - Intel Celeron Processor 600Mhz with 319 MB of RAM. If I decided to buy a new video card and more memory; do you think this POS computer would support them without the case overheating and eventually having the computer break?
What would be a good video card?

Thanks!

Uhh.. You are trying to stick more ram and a video card into a 600MHz celeron... Wow. That would be like squirting mayonaise into coca cola.....

Thanks for the reply, Kitire!

I will definitely consider going with that setup.

Any other suggestions?

I'd say Kitire spelled it out for you

If you could flex a little more out of your wallet you could buy a much more solid case and PSU though. Possibly a DFI motherboard for OCing too

nice work guys thats basically him set if you already have hardware you can re-use eg hdd and dvd drive then don't get new ones. that only applies if they're decent because i wouldn't hold out if you have a dying 8gb hdd.

Do you honestly think he has more than a 15gb HD and a cdrom drive? O_O!?

Just something about the 6800gs. That $20 rebate doesn't apply unless you buy an evga motherboard, too. The $10 rebate does apply however.

But overall, he put a good build together for you.

I would like to recommend the MSI K8N Neo4-F motherboard. It's $80 at newegg. Also, for the psu, I would recommend antec, enermax, ocz, and fortron.

Good luck with the build. I just finished my first build.

Oh, thought it was weird they had two rebates so i clicked on the 20$ one, and my pdf to html plug-in wasnt working correctly.
