okay, cool deal. Thanks for the help, with the video card, i noticed that the radeon did not have an hdmi output on it but the shappire did. Is the radeon one able to be hooked into a tv? My tv has a regular vga port, but not one that looks like the ports on the radeon. I would think the one with a wider variety of ports would be nicer. I'm sorry if this is a fairly simple question, I know nothing about graphics cards.
on a separate note, when buying all these parts separately, do i need to buy anything else? I know that when i replaced the cd burners on my desktop i have now they didnt come with the screws that lock the drives into place. Is there anything else like that? maybe cables for the drives?
