    the processor, motherboard, video card, and the case, and the memory.
    you can always go cheaper though just my suggestion for a future proof, low budget gaming pc based on what you need. get a 6200tc and drop it to 400 if you will.

    If you are REALLY serious about making it futureproof, I would save & get a decent MOBO, CPU, RAM, graphics card. I would put aside at least $600-$800. Otherwise you WILL just regret it. I know it will take a while.
    It took me 2yrs to build the PC I wanted, through trial & error. I now know what I would buy.
    I can assure you that you will reap the rewards with a little patience, & also feel proud that you did not do a cheap & nasty job.
    You WILL want to play your games with a good PC, it truly makes a world of difference. GUARANTEED!
    Just my 2cents!

    don't even touch it as it uses same ram as what you have now but can't put newer ram in at all. has 4x agp so can't put a new 8x agp because of voltage differences. can only put intel nortwood core cpu on the board so is dead end. is also missing the bracket that is attached to the motherboard that the cpu heatsink & fan clamps to so will have a hell of a time to get a replacement as it comes with the board. what would you do with the other 4 boards, sell them off??

    i guess that would work, but right about not i have another problem, ever since i took my computer to the shop, because my computer would run except it wouldnt turn on my monitor, mouse and keyboard, so he fixed it and when i got it back it started restarting on random times out on me. i use to have about 901mhz but after he worked on my computer it sais 851Mhz. can anyone help me from this little information, because im not sure my self if he changed a file type, or if he changed my cpu prosessor to a weaker one. can anyone please help, this is starting to make me mad because i cant even watch 5 minutes of a movie with out it restarting on me. thanx in advance
