On a brighter note, I found out yesterday that my disability was approved without having to get a lawyer!!!!!!


I'll have enough to go crazy but at the same time I have to stay grounded because I have a buttload of medical bills to pay so I'm keeping the total cost below $700 (for upgrading mine and rebuilding hers) And I still have to run it by the wife, too.

Anyway, here's my picks for mine:
GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L Mobo Seems like a decent board but my main concern is having Front & Rear Audio outs for my Klipsch speakers $79.99. I don't necessarily want to buy a sound card.
C2Q Q6600 CPU $199.99
G.Skill 2 x 2 GB PC28500 RAM $49.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231166
Hanns-G 22" Widescreen LCD $139.99
Also adding a WD 500 GB HDD $56.99
And bringing my 9600 GT, case, DVD etc. and PSU along from my current build
That brings me to $526.95
To hers I'll take all my current mobo/cpu/RAM, 19" LCD and an 80 GB HDD
I'll have to buy a copy of XP $89.99
A PSU ~$25
A DVD burner ~$25
All that, along with shipping brings me to just under my $700.
What opinions/suggestions do any of you have to improve my end of the bargain for the money?
Thanks all!
Jack
