New Computer Recommendations

Recommended Posts

Okay, so, I have been meaning to get a new computer for about a year now, and with Christmas over I've got just a tad bit of cash. My current computer is a Gateway FX4710-UB003A.

Graphics: EvGa Nvidia 9800GT

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Quad Core

Memory: 6gb DDR2 Dual Channel

Hard Drive: 640GB

OS: Win7 Ultimate

I have been looking for upgrades, most notably my Graphics card and motherboard. I have a seller that I'm talking to over Craigslist willing to sell me an Nvidia 460GT for $150, but my Power Supply can't handle it (Delta DPS-400RB A) and he's willing to sell his 900w power supply as well (unknown extra price). So, I need help getting deals on other parts or overall if I can find something cheaper than this guy is offering me. I'm also eyeballing his motherboard which is a Nvidia Geforce 8300 SLI/Hybrid.

I'm trying to keep as low of a cost as possible, I've currently got about $125 free cash from Christmas and I should be able to scrounge up some more.

I have an Nvidia GeForce GTS250 that i've just figured out is incompatible with my PC. My Power Supply can't handle how much of a fucking hog it is on power. (IE: GTFO if it's under 600 Watts). I'm currently trying to negotiate with my brother to see if either A: I'll get a new Power Supply, or B: I'll just sell the damn card.

I bought a 768mb Nvidia Geforce460 GTX for $89.99 (Fuck yeah $60 mail in rebate), and a 650W Power supply for $69.99 (FUCK YEAH $20 mail in rebate).

I'm set for liefah.

Only problem is, without a new motherboard, I will be unable to place my 9800GT in my computer as a dedicated PhysX card since my computer only has one PCIe slot.

Here's a couple of ideas i found. I also believe that Newegg provides free shipping to items over $50 as well, but i can't confirm that.
