thanks for the info so far. i dont want to go overboard on this...that may be too late im hitting about $700 so far with taxes. the motherboard does have a graphics card in it: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 heres a link for it: http://www.eglobalonline.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=8887
im in vancouver canada, any tips on where to buy there would be cool. i found eglobal from someone who overheard me talking about upgrading my computer, and they have some of the cheapest prices on parts.
dont all motherboards have some type of graphics card in it already? i was planning on just using that for now and when i get some more money getting a card.
