Hi smarteyeball,
I have added images of the tower I'm working on. If you need more, or better, info from me I'll do my best to satisfy.
I'm thinking that there just may be built in graphics, but by looking I just don't know. I am a novice getting inside the workings of a pc. The images may help.
I have decided to get 2 2GB RAM chips. Crucial made by Dell.
I could get the following video card by Gigabyte for $10. Geforce 8500 GT 256mb GPU Video card.I have also been considring a Quadro by Dell with as high specs as I can get.
Thanks for expounding on the advantages of a second drive for the OS(that goes for Stephanie, AddRAM and madcratebuilder, who also took the time to comment). I can see how it will make a difference. Even though it may take me a bit longer to finish this project I am willing to wait; if it means building one that I can get maybe 3-4 years of work from.
All I need to decide on is HDD or SSD. I'm leaning towards SSD as I believe(from what I've read) that that would be optimum, and give me a better level of versatility.
Actually, it was while searching for my system info that I found a link to this site. I am very fortunate to have landed in the company of some well learned individuals, and am grateful for it.
