Just an update I won't be able to build my rig, I had to put the tax refund into savings/bills because I got laid off. I went ahead and bought a new video card, an XFX Radeon HD 5770. Hoping it will be enough to get my PC back up and running. When I'm back on my feet I guess I'll try again for a new rig, luckily I was still living at home and hadn't moved out just yet so I have a place to stay till then. I'm hoping worst case scenario is I'll just need to buy a new motherboard too, should be too bank breaking, could get a good mobo for like $80 and it still be upgradeable/compatible with socket AM3 CPUs.
