Ok My budget is around $650
This computer does not have to be really good. I dont play any new games really but i would like it to handle them in case i get my hands on one.

Things I have(Want to try to incorporate in build but not necessary):
-680W chiefmax power supply (Need to know if thats good enough)
-ATI Radeon Saphire X1600 Pro (Keep?)
Thing im wanting to get: -let me know if i need to change some things
250GB HD (dont need that much space)
4 Gb of RAM (Dont know what kind yet cause dont know mobo yet.)
Motherboard(I have no clue what to get)
GPU? Should i keep the saphire? Or get a new one.

And thats all. Looking at it for the things i need i dont think its going to add up to $650 so maybe a better mobo and GPU?

I dont know so im asking you guys.
 
1. Chiefmax, big no-no.They are horrible quality power supplies. Depending on your rig youll be building, grab a 600W StealthXStream OCZ, 600W ModXStream OCZ, or TX650 corsair.

2. For gaming, the X1600 was never that much of a high end card, and today its slow compared to even most of the lower end units.


Things you may want to take a look at:
CPU- Phenom II X3 710 or 720
GPU- Radeon HD4830 or HD4850
PSU- Mentioned Above, the OCZ StealthXStream or ModXStream 600W, or TX650 corsair.

Looking at these parts i dont think it will add up to $650 Is there anything i can upgrade thats better? Or would that require me to also have to upgrade something else leading to over budget?
