Here is what I am thinking at the moment...

Thanks for the advice. My video card is PCI Express x16. I am guessing its v1 - the first one that came out, based on its age. Will this really fit on the mobo you are recommending?

For a new CPU, case, mobo and RAM (at least 16GB), I am trying to stay around $600 to $700 range. I may be dreaming but I need to be told that.
My PSU is 600WATT I believe. I will post the brand...

I was not mentally ready to accept the challenge :-) My biggest fear was what if it actually worked downstairs? Where would have been my next step?
I, instead bought 3 x 2GB DDR2 sticks off...

I have spent more time on it than it is worth. I am almost at a point where I am thiniking that may be I just need to replace the mobo or the CPU. Which one do you really think is the culprit here?

Went to Radioshak and bought thermal grease. Applied it, put the heatsink back on. Doesn't do anything to the behavior.
I know that the compound is important but does it really have anything to...

I went and bought a new PSU and it did the same thing as the old one. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
So I am going to have to return this $100 PSU.
Now, I started removing all the PCI-e and PCI cards, I...

Ok, so I tested the PSU with the paper clip method (one end in the green wire and the other in the black wire). The PSU came on with blue light and fan spinning. Does it REALLY prove that my PSU is...

If I use a USB2 enclosure for my SATA drive, is there a waste of speed? Should I instead consider an e-SATA enclosure or something (is there such a thing?)
What are other ways to connect a SATA...

Ok, so are you saying that I can't just order a stick from newegg, say this one OR just get one from best buy for that matter and use in dell?
