I'm looking to spend below $300.  Any suggestions or should I stay with what I have.  It works very well.

A Radeon X700 is still a fairly current card;  the next generation of ATI cards (x1600) for that level don't offer any major performance benefits.  I'd suggest waiting at least another 6 months before looking for a card, so prices on GeForce 6800s and 7800s can come down in price.

Are you familiar with MS Money.  Has a great budget tool built in.  Might want to check it out

Yamaha. As high up the range as you can afford. Look at around £200 / $300 for a nice one, and anything higher is a bonus.

Stay away from Laptops. \n\nIf you are serious about gamming Laptops are not the way to go.\nThey produce way to much heat and are hard to upgrade. For around $600 You can get a pre built system with a 200 GB Hard Drive. 1 gig of Ram A DVD/CD Burner An AMD 3500+ processor.\n\nBut whatch out for the ATI or Intergrated Graphics. YOu can get a nice video card for arouns $150 more if you buy one with Intergrated Graphics in it.\n\nCheck out www.newegg.com if you want to build your own or looking for a video card.

Give this site a look.  And I think everything on it is under $300\n\nhttp://space.about.com/cs/telescopes/tp/tpbegscop300.htm\n\nGood luck.

Correct, it is higher quality, but also much more expensive. Unless you are planning to use this for gaming, you would be perfectly well off having a 300.

Seems reasonably priced, it will do everything you want it to. I'd say, go for it.

if it is your budget go for it. nothing wrong with more power. make sure you build it with a 64 bit CPU.

Go for an Apple.  They are slightly more pricey but they are well designed.

If you want to get a good router for a decent price, check out \nwww.pricewatch.com\nI have yet to find anything there that is not reasonably priced, plus almost all the vendors have free shipping. try them before going to any store.

Antec, there is NO substitute! 300 watts is no where near enough, jump up to 400-500 watts, this is what I'm using and it is VERY reasonable. I bought it at http://newegg.com\n\nhttp://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=26500

Check out HP.  They have very good prices starting at $249.  You can upgrade to a faster pc and get one for under $700.

I found one on Craig's List (www.craigslist.com) that is pretty close to your specs.  \nhttp://www.craigslist.org/eby/apa/170091186.html\n\nIt's $1250 but that's a lot less than everything else I found there.  \n\nIf that doesn't work for you, keep checking Craig's List searching on Fremont pets 2 bed (that's what I used).

I have had that particular machine and found it to be a very good system. THe video was a little limited but the rest of the system was great. You can upgrade the memory to 2 gigs and run big drives. It is light wieght and easy to use. It was pleanty fast enough for what I was using it for. I have a wifi card and it was fine. I have no complaints about this system. I hope that this helps you out some.
