Subtotal: $575.93 - around $40 worth of mail in rebates

as you can see, it has no gpu, because all of the ones recommended to me then are discontinued. what parts of it need to be updated? and whats a good gpu? i will mainly be using it for everyday stuff, but i want to have the capabilities of playing some games (cod4, fallout 3) i would also like to keep the price under 1000, preferably even less, and a monitor is not necessarily needed

Click to expand...

I reccommend everyone consider quad over dual but thats your choice.

Mobo I would change for the p43 chip set to
GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L - $79.99

Your PSU is a beast and is not needed since you are going with a single PCI-e x16 slot board, change to something like...
Antec BP550 Plus 550W ATX12V - $79.99

Ram
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 - $52.99 Great RAM and faster than yours.

GPU I would go mid range(your setup is mid range) and one of these
EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB - $149.99

SAPPHIRE 100245L Radeon HD 4850 512MB - $144.99

For a monitor, if you want to buy one. This one is great, I have it :)
Acer H213H bmid Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen - $179.99

Total rough $867
 
so..

Case:

mobo:
GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L - $79.99

cpu:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115037 164.99

RAM:
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 - $52.99

HD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148288 64.99

CD/DVD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151171 23.99

monitor:
Acer H213H bmid Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen - $179.99


and between those 2 gpu's is there much difference?
 
your links dont work and i'd recommend getting a 4870 since i think a few are on sale for 150 after mail in rebate. the 4850 and the 9800gtx are pretty much equals and the 4870 and the gtx 260 are pretty much equals.
