Hey guys,

I am trying to build the best system for the least amount of money. I am taking this system on a six month deployment with me, I want to be able to play games with a decent framerate but will be doing plenty of other stuff, Word, picture editing etc. I am going to get the following parts from computers here at the house and builld around them:

Hard drive
CDRW
Keyboard/mouse
Case (maybe)

So, here are the parts I need to get:

Case (I might go with a shuttle mini or something similar, or I might use what I have here)

Mobo/CPU combo

Soundcard, if mobo has crappy on board sound

Video Card

Memory

So, What is the best bang for my cheap ass buck?

Thanks....

Glass
