You need brand new parts. Unfortunately the only thing worth salvaging from that PC is the hard drive - and even then I'd keep it just for storage not for my operating system and programs.
About how much are you willing to spend is the question... I can suggest many setups if given a dollar amount. Welcome to the forums!

Man that sucks!
I want to build a PC that is geared towards gaming and graphics. Price isn't really a concern, I just want the most bang for the buck. Thank you |

Well, if pricing isn't a concern, definately go for this:
Core 2 Duo E6600 Asus P5B Deluxe 2x1gb Corsair XMS2 250gb Seagate 7200.10 Liteon DVD Burner 500+ watt power supply nVidia: GeForce 7950gt ATi: X1950XT You should get away with under $2,000 with perhipials included, too. |
