Cool, cool. After I finally buy the Wii, I can start saving for it. x_xI would say you could easily make a decent gaming PC for around $700-800.

Well currently I have nothing, really. I have $340, but I plan to buy a Wii, Wiimote, and maybe a used game. So my PC budget is currently non existant, unless I wait for my birthday and don't buy a Wii for awhile. But I'll likely only get to a total of $600 from birthday money, and Vista will take about $160-260 (Home Premium - Ultimate) of that.Budget is the most important bit i guess. How much do you have to spend? 700-800 will buy you a NICE pc
Remember to include the extortionately priced Vista into it (pirating is not really an option any more).
Oh just in case anyone cares, i did add a $30 graphics card to my sisters. Performance went up significantly.

Just make sure you don't end up working some where like macdonalds, thats a crappy job no matter which way you throw the dice.Well currently I have nothing, really.

So my only option appears to be to get a job.... Bleck.

Totally. I just picked up an application from both Barnes & Noble and GameStop, but if worse comes to worst, I'll probably have to settle for Albertson's or Wal-Mart.Just make sure you don't end up working some where like macdonalds, thats a crappy job no matter which way you throw the dice.Well currently I have nothing, really.

You have to be very careful when overclocking. Generally, you can change setting in the BIOS (you can get into it when you boot the computer). If your motherboard is older it might not be able to overclock things through the BIOS so you might need to get software (if it's even possible. The key to overclocking is cooling though. You just have to make sure that your cooling system keeps your parts running at or below their optimal temperatures. Hopefully your mobo has temperature settings that tell you what the temp of the CPU and stuff is. But yeah basically, you just want to tweak things up a little bit, start the comp, check the temps, put a large load on the CPU (run some kinda benchmarking program or something that just takes a lot of the CPU like a new game) see how the temperature is feeling (make sure to check online what the optimal temperature is for your piece of hardware). If it can handle it then reset and up it a bit more. See how that goes and yeah that's about the basics. Just look online there's plenty of info on it.Just make sure you don't end up working some where like macdonalds, thats a crappy job no matter which way you throw the dice.Well currently I have nothing, really.
