Ok i have no experience what-so-ever building pc's but this summer i want to try to build one for gaming. i was never interested in gaming on a pc until a few weeks ago when i bought UT2004 and i cant stop playing it, now i want far-cry, doom 3, half life 2, splinter cell PT, and theif Shadows but the problem with my HP a240n is I cannot play many of those games. Now my questions are 1) would it be better (or even possible) to get the nvidia 6800 ultra (my mind is set on this card), and GIGABYTE nForce3 150 Motherboard Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 754 CPU, Model GA-K8NNXP (i just copied the specs from newegg 
), and an AMD athlon 64 3400+ processor and put those into my current computer and upgrade to 1-2 GB of ram, or to build a new system starting out with the few things i just named. If building a new system would be less of a hassle and a better idea then please point me in the right direction as to if any of the components i mentioned above are bad ideas. If they are ok then what other things do I need to get to complete the system, suggestions on brand and model would be great. I have a general idea of what you need to complete a system but im sure im probably forgeting something. my budget will probably be around the 2,500 range. thanks for anyone's help who replies to this post.
I also have another question if i went with an amd fx-53 processor and a SK8N MOBO could i put that into my a240n? and if not could i transplant my dvd-rw/cd-rw drive and my cd drive into my new computer?
