[QUOTE="BillyLitt, post: 26018, member: 16393"] I'm going to use my current system as a starting point. Right now, I want to play DVDs through this pc onto my TV and use my audio receiver for sound. I'd also like to use it for the internet/email/pictures. Here is the specs of my current system. Abit IS7-E Intel Standard ATX Intel Pentium 4 2.8E Prescott Kingston 512MB DDR400 Rosewill RW92SE - Radeon 9200SE 128MB DDR AGP SATA 150GB 43 inch DLP Widescreen My board has onboard 6 channel audio with S/PDIF Out, so I think I'm set with audio. I'd like to upgrade my chip and memory, but it looks to be good for now. My drive space is fine because I'm not interested in recording TV just yet. My biggest concern is my video card. When I bought this card, I went cheap. It has a DVI connection. The specs state Directx8, that's where I am concerned. Any suggestions? I don't want to purchase anything right now. I want to get it up on its feet and upgrade as money (or wife) permits. [/QUOTE]
