Hey my Computer Forum buddies! So last month my computer was struck by lighting. My insurance just call and they are sending my 2100 dollars for them. Although 1100 will be used to buying a laptop. What should I do with the other 1000. I can pretty much build a computer but I think I'm just going to upgrade parts.
Computer Specs Currently and working status:
MB: Gigabyte EP45-UD3R - Works
CPU: Intel Quad Core Q660 - Work
Memory: Corsair 2 x 2 Gigs - eh
GPU: PNY Nvidia 8800 GT - DEAD
PSU: Roswell 500 Watt - DEAD
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 250 GIGS - Slow but works
Case: Mid-sized gaming case, Custom - If left over money I will buy a new one

Okay so you see what is dead and you see what works. Here is what I may get:
Video Card: http://tiny.cc/rOdcn
Memory: http://tiny.cc/gVw4b
HDD: http://tiny.cc/h4Gh2
PSU: http://tiny.cc/AkYym

That is what I would like to get with this money. I do have about 1000 to spend but I really don't want to use all of it because I could use the rest for college.
Please let me know what your thoughts are and if you see something I should change let me know, also if you see something I should change in my working stuff let me know that to.
I do a lot of video editing, programming, websites, and gaming so if you can find stuff that will suite me for that, that would be awesome. Thanks guys.
