Building new PC

[kabLe]

I'm building a pc that is mainly used for gaming, however I don't have $1000 to spend on it right now. I have a case that I can use already. I have a video card that will fit that. A CD/DVD drive, power supply that may or may not work, and memory is no problem. I'm going to upgrade progressively. I'm gonna get the needs and basics first. THen go for the things such as video cards etc..

Ok, if you already have ram to match your motherboard then i would recommend getting a good gpu. You dont have to spend much to get a card that will whip a 6600. $60 tops and you will run rings around your old card. Trust me its worth the investment. look into a gt 220, a 9500 gt, or similar card.

you should save your money and it will be less of a headache trying to figure out the specs of the stuff you already have

Well, I bought a new motherboard its a BioStar G31-M7 TE. Everything from my old board works on this board so at least I'm back up an running. Next, I'm buying a new power supply and a GTS 250 this weekend. Then I'm going to get a Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5 Ghz for $150. Then gonna get 2, 1 gig memory chips and hyperthread them.

 

My only problem atm is that everytime I start up CSS my pc crashes. Don't know why and have no clue or suspicions as to what is happening. I'm gonna be trying it with LoL soon to see if the same thing happens.

Double Postin here but

 

I've tried playing League of Legends and once I go in-game the same thing happens. I get about 1-2 minutes and my computer freezes. Then I have to either restart and try again or just say fuck it. HELP PL0X
