Re: new computer first suggestion....get more money.
second suggestion.... Newegg.com
third suggestion.... Try and salvage parts if they are still good from old pc if ur short on cash you can save some money and work to upgrade a bit later (if you got a desktop and not a laptop)
fourth suggestion... Give it to me when your done :)

Though than again there are some peeps that specialize in lurking and lurking finding suitable parts and coming with cheap gaming rigs. _________________

Re: new computer I don't like Tiger, bad site, less reviews and newegg is way better and bigger in all aspects.
Newegg & overclock community forums are best places to go.
eBay is hit and miss, if you dont have any money to spare stay far far away.

Or do like I did 2 weeks ago and go to fry's and blow $800 on new pc parts and go from there.
