Assuming you've got monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers, then nothing.

All together, a little under $1,000 if you go with.......

........Newegg, it's by far the most common and highly rated place to buy from.
 
Dont get the x1300PRO. If you want to game, get at least an x1600XT for the X1K series, or at least a 7600GS for the 7xxx series.
 
do you think i can take the DVD-Rom Drive and DVD/CD Burner from my hp and put it in this computer?
and would it make a difference between 1 gb and 2 gb if im just playing bf2 and counterstrike?
and how much more $ is the x1600?
sorry for all the questions

1. Yea I dont see why you couldnt take it, the drives in your HP are probably IDE so just make sure your motherboard has IDE slots. Which i am pretty sure it does

2. When playing games the 2GB really makes the difference in loading times and just in general performance, ecspecially in BF2.

1GB is plently, going from 1GB to 2GB is better, but i would put that money into a better video card.

I used to have the x1600PRO, and it's not a good card. The 7600GS is alot better, and is roughly the same price.
