    I am looking at building a new computer and was hoping you guys could help me pick out good components to use. My budget is around $600-$800 and I would like to get an AMD 64. The main game I will currently use it for is WoW but I would like it to run higher-end games. I would prefer a shuttle but that is not a necessity.

    Get a venice 3000+, 6600GT or something, and a dfi mobo if possible...

    If possible, you can use components from your current computer as long as they're not too old to save some money, and upgrade those in the future (like, I just switched out my 2500+ / abit NF7 for a A64 3200+ venice and DFI nf3 Ultra-D ...still using my same HD, ram, optical drives... and recent video card which was a 6800GT AGP)

    Well my current PC is a Dell Dimension 1.3GHz and i also have a Compaq presario 866MHz...I can use my hard drive and optical drives, but i will most likely need more RAM, because the best i have are 256mb sticks of RIMM...
    The graphics card I have is a geforce 4 MX 440-SE PCI which is unfortunately no better than most on-board graphics, so I need a new graphics card also.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Considering that it has onboard video maybe you could find one a little cheaper, however if the thought of a shuttle is removed entirely, you can upgrade the graphics card to a 6800 12-pipeline card, a 3200+, and a DFI lanparty, leaving you with about 100$ dedicated toward a powersupply + case (considering the dells powersupply wont work but you may want to use the case?)

    Well, if I don't go shuttle then I have a few old off-brand computers that i can use the case, so I could save money doing that until I deside to get a better case. Would it be a lot cheaper not to go shuttle? :clap:
