I have been scouring the net for days and in the end am very confused i want advice for a pc,
i already have
HDD HITACHI 350 GB 7200 rpm
DVD writer sony
monitor
THE rest i need to buy within the next week, my budget is under 450 USD.
Want it to last/be upgradable for 3/4 yrs atleast.
Play games too for about one and a half yrs if possible.
Need two lists
one with the graphics card included in the price
one with the graphics card not included.

Was considering the p5Qc DDR3 ASUS motherboard, is it worth buying.
plz reply ASAP.
thanks in advance

Got to start menu and click run. Put this in the box "%SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe" with out the " and you have your answer.

aesedai, as said above DDR3 is a waste on your budget. DDR 3 really isnt a huge jump over DDR2.

That should hold you over.

Thanks but that makes about 400$ inclusive of the graphics card
how about a 450$ budget not including HDD,DVD writer and Graphics card.

The UD3R is in stock, it's only the UD3LR that's out of stock. I don't recommend Asus boards to most people as their low and midrange boards have taken a tumble in build quality over the last couple of years.
