Hm...rather disappointing for a system I paid 1,400 for.

Better question then. I've been having a problem with my desktop that seems irreversable, and the desktop itself is rather aged at 4 1/2 years, so I think I'm just going to replace the parts I haven't replaced in the last year.

So, basically, I need a hard drive, motherboard, and cpu. Any suggestions?

As far as things I've bought recently and intend to keep, I've already got an nvidia Geforce 7600 GS using the agp 8x slot, so I'd prefer a mobo with both agp and pci xpress slots in case I want to use pci express in the future. Using two sticks of 1 gig ddr ram right now. Have a 430 watt power supply.
