My wife says I'm an computer idiot... hey I just want to build a computer that will crunch some numbers... Thanks for the help!!
 
Are you upgrading? Just making sure since I don't see a cpu, motherboard, or ram up there.

Edit: Oh, and if you're going to get into graphics/gaming, I wouldn't recommend the x300, what type of budget do you have with the video card?
 
Oh yeas and this is included... dah

ASUS A8V DELUXE VIA K8T800 PRO CHIPSET SERIAL ATA150 ATX FORM FACTOR 1xAGP(8X)/5xPCI/4xDDR W/SATA,RAID,LAN(Gb),USB 2.0,1394 & AUDIO (CPU TYPE:AMD ATHLON 64 - SOCKET 939)AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ - VENICE; THERMALTAKE A4014; CRUCIAL 1GB DDR400 (512MB x 2)
 
Graphics Card

I have $200 left to spend... by the way I bought 2 of the 250 hard drives
 
Shoot, well you ordered a motherboard that is agp based, while your graphics card is pci-express
Meaning they wont be compatable.

I'll edit this within 5 minutes with some good agp video cards from 50-250$

Edit:
Really cheap -
5200FX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814168002

Cheap -
6200

Then somewhere in here is the 6600, but the 6600GT is MUCH better for only dollers more

Spartan666, I bought 3 250g hard drives so I could use that RAID thing... I do a lot of .NET. SQL Server, Photoshop and lots of web stuff.

As for the 300 graphics card... I'll just smash it to smithereens!
 
Well I wouldn't recommend that lol, if you have already ordered it and can't cancel, some places take rma's with only like a 15% restocking fee or something.
If not, sell it on ebay or to a friend

oh, and check my edit above
 
The X300/X1300 graphics cards suck. You ordered an AGP mobo and a PCIe graphics card. You should have came here first for help. Send all the parts back as soon as you get them, and tell us the maximum ammount of money you are willing to spend, and I and a number of other people will suggest parts to get.
 
Thanks PcMe and all the experts...

I knew I should have come here first! I have a total of $1050 to spend and I don't need a monitor.

Hear that sound?? That's me smashing my head against the wall because I'm so ticked off at myself!!!
