Ok Mr High and mighty with his new ladeeda PC made me think about asking yous for advice.

Me stats
Ahtlon XP+ 1.4Ghz
256RAM DDR
GeForce2MX400
SB live!
40Gig HD

Now i'll probably need to buy a 256 for PS. :(

Other than that.
1-You guys got a website where you buy your RAM cheap. (that can ship to Canada)

2-If i decide to buy myself a new GPU after X-mas what in your opinion is the best one out there that won't cost me an arm, leg and my favorite body part? :D

3-Anything else you would change?

I would have nekkid chicks on mine but then my girlfriend would slap me and tell me that such things were degrading to women, and i would not get none for along time, thus no nekkid chicks on my computer :(

No i don't want a pre built case. THe PC i have no i built and i probably will kepp doing so, much better than buying a set case.

Only thing i want to change for now is ram and GPU. My CPU, HD and sound card are fine for me. :)

OK i checked out pcclub.com, pretty darn good site and they ship internationally so w00t for me! :D

Now i just have 1 question, i gots me RAM (a nice 512 strip :)) but when it comes to vid cards i'm not an expert so what card do you guys recommend.

Any vid card at all since the most expensive one i saw on pcclub was $190 i think.

Tell her the chick is ugly and makes her even more beautiful. Either that or say "What? Nekid chick... big deal.. now shut up and get me a coke." :D

Here's my system. Anyone recommend even the slightest of upgrades?

P4 - 1.4 GHz
384 Rambus Ram
GeForce 4 Ti 4200
40Gig HD

Forget the name of my soundcard, think it has the world "Crystal" in its name.

I know i need to upgrade and that is where my signing bonus is going.... but just for comedic value i'll put my specs down. It has gotten me by so far but alas the time has come to shoot it D.E.D. (DEAD!)

P3 500 mhz
256 SD RAM
Geforce 2 GTS PRO
12 GB HD
SB 64 (don't really know the specifics)

Laugh all you want :) it was my first comp that I bought.... I will be putting it down after basic training and tech school :) (i'm going miss the old guy though... lots of gaming history on it)

Here are my comp. specs:
2 GHz
1 GB DDRam
GForce 3 Ti500 graphics
Soundblaster live 5.1 sound card
sadly only Polkaudio 2.1 speakers(wanted5.1)
and 40 GB Hard Drive mem.

My computer is almost a year old so for approx $1,900 it was a good deal. I am going to stick with HP. And my screen is a 19" 1940x1440.

So were are some good places to get PCs cheap? What about parts? I know about www.pricewatch.com but what else is out there? I'm not sure if I want to build a new machine or let someone else do it.
