Alright. I currently have a Pentium D @ 3.00GHZ (don't laugh lol) http://www.intel.com/products/ServerProducts/PentiumD/pentiumd-overview.htm And a Gigabyte S-Series GA-945GCM(X)-S2 http://gigabyte.com.au/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2521 How much do you think I could get for these on Ebay? They're second hand, but working fine, not overclocked or anything. Ask any other questions related to them. To replace them, I was thinking of buying either an Intel Core 2 Quad 6600, or 9300. As for the motherboard, I'm still pondering. (Any suggestions? Preferbly under $200). Once I get new pieces, I was thinking of this set up: 250gb hard drive 20x DVD burner 8x DVD burner (for PS2 games) Raedon X1600 series (Not sure on 256 or 512MB, the box had both written, same as instructions.) http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonx1600/index.html 22" BenQ monitor Any suggestions?

The Pentium D isn't worth a carrot, you might get thirty dollars for it, probably not much more. At a push you might make 40 for the motherboard. As for the new CPU, go with the Q6600. For the other parts, I presume they're stuff you already own? The X1600 is very old and slow. As for Benq monitors, I personally think they're really poorly made, you would be better off going with a Samsung, specifically SM226BW or SM2232BW.
