so i am going to move north to live with my aunt and go to school in washington (many more places in washington) but i'll be going back and fourth between here and washington a bit i am sure.
now i am not exactly sure what i am going to do for a computer but i know i would like to have a desktop while i am up there. i may keep the one in my sig attached or i may swap components everytime i go from here to there oe back and fourth or might completely disassemble this one here. i have a laptop, but i would like a real computer because well...games and storage and stuff.
so heres what i have come up with: hopefully this works this time.

the processor and heatsink were just kinda thrown in there as a backup incase i killed this processor but i am not opposed to getting a decent cheap one.
this wishlist is what i would like not necessarily what i would wind up with, i know for a fact i want that case, PSU and Mobo. the case is $80 since its out of stock at the moment.
any way i would like to keep it cheap but have quite a bit of room to upgrade. my game playing varies from old games to the newest available.
what would you do? swap components, gut the current computer or go all new?
one of my main concerns is the videocard. nvidia is ****ing me off but they are still an option, i was kind of aiming for a set up where i could easily add another card later on.
i dont think heat across the videocard(s) is going to be a problem, in the case it has a 120mm blowing in from behind the cards and the PSU will suck air up from the slot area and blow it out the back, i also picked those videocards because they pull air from inside the case and blow it behind and up twards the PSU.
i'm not sure what i am going to do about the CPU (might hack out room for a ninja)
