I've learned a lot since I bought my first computer from cyberpower 5 years ago, and it's time for something better.........

I am on a budget, but I need a high performance gaming rig capable of putting out high quality graphics to a HDTV on Full Settings, by that I mean, all the graphics and AI in the game turned to full tilt.

1) What is the cheapest / best way to do this, rebuild my current comp and throw away my old parts, or build a whole nother rig and have 2 comps?

2) What mobo should I get?... value is important,

3) What cpu? I was thinking a pentium D 805 ? I'd like to try overclocking

4) What vid card? want to connect to HDTV

5) Do I need water cooling? I've never overclocked before...

6) Should I by new vendor parts, or possibly look into buying a used rig similar to what I want off of ebay?

Remember that cost is a major factor, so please don't give me answers that are for the most wamminnest jamminnest parts out there that are buku bucks. Value is important!

Thanx

Or have them filled? We have a kiosk at our mall that does it. Does the ink last as long as a new cartridge? How much does it cost? How many times can you refill the same cartridge?

Well I have a 1 Ghz computer with 768 ram and a 128 Ram GFX card. Im just wondering if a slower computer processor like mine might effect total internet bandwidth and downloading rates, EVEN if the computer is squeaky clean of viruses and spyware. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have aPavillion dv5224nr notebook with Win XP Media Center. Whenever I use it to play music, the player has a tendancy to freeze up. I cant narrow it dow no a program issue because it happens in WMP 10, Yahoo Jukebox and the Media Center Player.
It happens with MP3 files WMA and Internet radio. I have reinstalled the audio and video drivers and I have just defraged the hard drive. I can play games and do everything else fine, its just when I play music.

If I use one of those inverters to convert 12v to 110v in my car does it ruin my Lithium Ion battery in my laptop? It seems like it used to last longer when it was charged in my house rather than in my car.

The motherboard of the computer broke, so we took it to the computer repair place in town. They said they were going to use the computer for parts. The problem is I forgot to get my hard drive back. Will the computer place sell my hard drive without wiping/erasing my hard drive? I had many credit card info and my personal information on there. Can I also ask for my hard drive back, if it is still there? Are computer repair places allowed to sell my hard drive as it is? I will say they are a small family run computer repair place that I am told is professional. Any help at all from computer repair places would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I read somewhere that a Core 2 Duo with 2.14 GHZ is the same as a 4.28 ghz single core processor. Is this true? I am putting together a new computer and I want the fastest processor avaliable which would be the best Intel Pentium D 3.2 ghz, Core 2 Duo 2.14 ghz, or should I just get a AMD.
