ok i just bought a new hp A6230n and it looks and runs good but i was wondering how hard it would be to put it in a gaming case
and i want to add a decent gpu if you have suggestions on that also (preferably nvidia and under $100) also i was thinking of some precautionary cooling devices to help dicipate heat and hopefully make it last a bit longer
heres wat has caught my interest thus far, any info would be greatly appriciated

Do you want to play games? If so, do NOT get that video card. At least get a 8600gts if you want to game, if not the HD 3850.

Dude, I play with 8600GT MSI, the Overclock Edition maxing out on CS:S with 4X MSAA Anti-Alaising. It was only 109.99$ When I bought it, and it was worth it. It runs a little hot so be prepared. Also it is overclocked so it is fast. GDDR3, 256mb, 675mhz Core Clock, 1600mhz Ram Clock. Awesome for price

Get this card: XFX 8600 GT. After MIR, it's $89.99 and within your budget.

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".
