The eBay listing claims this unit is brand new and remains factory sealed.
It is priced at $224 with free shipping included.

$224=$408

True, but at that price point, we're looking at roughly $1,800

Here are some graphics cards for $533

And while we're at it, could someone give me some advice on a printer? I'm looking for something budget-friendly that can also handle burning DVDs and CDs.

So, everything remains the same, except for this EVGA GeForce GTX 460 with 1024MB DDR5 and a 192-bit bus.

Also, would it be an issue if I swapped out the 4GB of RAM for 2GB instead?

I found the power supply on a local classifieds site for $100; it's about 2.5 years old but still has plenty of warranty left, so I think I'll grab it.

Are you sure my ATI card is compatible with that motherboard and the Core i5 processor?
Also, one more question: how much better is that NVIDIA card compared to the ATI one?

And if anyone happens to have any of these parts at home, please feel free to reach out to me.
