Hey everyone,

Long story short, im looking to buy a Mobo / CPU (intel only plz) / Graphic card (PCI Express 2.0) / RAM and i would like to keep cheap but good.

This isnt going to be any kind of overclocking job, just wanna upgrade my little bro's PC so he can play world of warcraft smoothly, and not run out of FPS like he does when he enters Dalaran.

So if anyone could take a few minutes to reccommend some components that you've either had the chance to test out yourselves or know are reliable.

I'll be running WinXP Pro SP3 on the machine if that makes any difference. (32 bit)

Thank You All who help!!

Used almost all OS's with the exception of MAC. Looking at the possibility of working for myself. Trying to decide what to do with the "Rest of my life". Currently un-employed, so my options are wide open. I'm a hard worker, and learn best, hands on. Residing in the NorthBay area of California, and prefer not to move.
