So the Iron Giant is getting some much needed upgrades.  Debating whether to do a Motherboard/Processor combo first, or a nice Graphics card before going for the major jump.  Somewhere in there, I need to invest in a larger HD as well.

Anyone know of any cheap deals/suggestions?

GF just got me a 160 gig hard drive for my birthday... Add my already almost-full 60 gig one that I'm using now, and I should have enough to last me quite some time.

The Mobo and CPU have both been very reliable, neither are on their way out. 744 ram has been enough for most anything I've been doing.

I'm working from Sophomore year of High School, here. Only thing I've modded is adding more memory, a new HD, and a DVD drive.

compusa's closing 150 stores around the country and the one in woburn's going out soon.

there are 10 and 20 percent off most things right now...but give it a couple weeks and you should be better off

Try looking on mwave (http://www.mwave.com/) they're a good alternative to newegg. Note, really you should be getting something along these lines (http://www.mwave.com/mwave/intel_quad.hmx?). For a slightly better idea see http://www.jjmelo.com/blog/archives/24

I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip, Sacca.

he doesn't need a freaking quad processor. most applications can't take advantage of multiple cores, and it will be a few years before they do, i think a core 2 duo is more then enough

Need and /want/, two very different things...
