It's evident you pretty well know what you're looking for, so shop for the computer as a complete unit. Then when you see what looks promising, look at what it includes, brand names and such, and see what the components cost when bought seperately. You'll likely find the M.B., RAM, Processor and heat sink, and Graphics card aren't far from the cost of a ready built unit, with all those things in even the O/S perhaps. Then you could sell what you have now and recoup some of the difference?

am i to understand correctly that you are suggesting this user go and buy a prebuilt peice of crap?
like a dell, or a gateway?
wow.
never, i repeat never, will i ever buy a pc that is already assembled.
(just a note: parts used in pre-built machines carry no warranty by the original manufacturer. meaning if you buy a dell, and it comes with a western digital hard disk, western digital doesn't want to hear about it if the hard disk dies, as you are not one of their customers. this would leave you nothing but dell's own warranty, which may or may be worth having
Dell is only being used as an example here.)
let alone the fact that you almost never get a real windows cd, even though you paid for one.
along with 100's of other complaints about pre-built pc's.
