Taskforce, check your local computer shop, as most of the time, if you buy a new hard drive, you can ask them for an OEM version of wondows. I got vista home premium x64 for 129.99 at the local shop. All I had to do was get a new hard drive for 60.00 bucks and I saves something 150.00 on the vista os.
I have a local Microcenter, and they are good that way.
Next time you get a new motherboard, depending on whether you use Nvidia, get an SLI board. If you use ATI, get a crossfire board. You can tweak your video by the addition of a second videocard, but you don't have to do it right away. You can do it when you're ready to.
