15-19in monitor. intel core 2 duo. 250-500gb HDD 3-5gb DDR3 RAM might that be too much for my price range?

any other suggestions?

so the 260 will be more than enough for me right now? i was also thinking of paying the extra 40 for the 216 core version of the gtx 260. yay or nay?

i have a chance to upgrade my video card with EVGA's step-up program, and i'm currently running the GTX 260 as the thread title says. Think the advantages I'd get with a higher card would even be worth it? I'm only playing regular games like L4D, TF2, CS:S, etc. I just want something that'll...

i'm running convertxtodvd right now, and my cpu is using 25-35% processing power, and 30% of 6gb RAM. the video is rendering at average 250fps. how does this compare with your experience on the i7 920?

CPU - 25-30% RAM - 25% of 6GB

here's a question for all of you then. kapersky, norton, or nod32?

so what might be causing the lag of running norton then? when i tried opening firefox during a scan, it took firefox literally 5 minutes before the window popped up. everything else was just ridiculously laggy. i'm coming from a single core 3ghz intel processor that was made in 2004 to this, so...
