However, with the upgrades I need, it would almost pay off just to build a new computer. If I were to build a computer, I'd def. go with an AMD, most likely at least a socket 939 Athlon 64. My biggest problem is that I'm very budge limited. And when I say very, I mean very. I'm talking $400-$500. So any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW: I've also been looking at barebones, although most of them either are socket 754 or if they're socket 939 they don't have a processor.

Well what do you do with your computer? What do you plan on doing with your new computer? If you do just basic word processing and surf the Internet then keep what you have! If you want to do some gaming, you might want to look into doing a new build.
I say sell your current computer. Keep your monitor, speakers, mouse, and keyboard. Take the money you get from that sale and add it to your total you are willing to spend..............then come back and make a new post and let us know how much you are willing to spend.
All of those major companies like Dell and Sony dont like to sell low end computers that allow you to upgrade them yourself later on.
Get about $200 for your current computer, and you can spend $600-$700 on a new one.
