I guess the best way for me to do this is buy the parts as they come on sale.
Right now I can get an Intel core 2 DUO E6550 & ECS GF7100PVT-M motherboard for $160. -nvidia gefoce 7100 chipset -1333 mhz fsb -integrated geforce 7 graphics -SATA + ddr2 800/667/733 -8 channel hd audio OR For $120 Intel core2 Duo E4500 & ECS 945GCT-M/1333 motherboard -intel 945GC chipset -1333 mhz FSB support PCI E upgrade slot -SATA + ddr2 667/533 -6 channel hd audio -------------------- |
