    Once again, I guarantee you won't need more than 4GB. Plus the RAM on the Low End is faster. The Mobo is better, and the GFX is also better. You also have to remember that a 64bit OS is not always better. If you wanted you could just go for the Low End rig without the GPU (and DVD burner of course) and save a lot. If you really want the HP rig though go for it.

    If I really wanted to save money, could I just buy the mobo and the processor of Newegg and put it in the case I have now? Then could I just use the RAM, Hard Drives, GPU etc. I already have or will there be compatibility issues? I know pretty much nothing when it comes to computer parts, so sorry for all the questions.

    Yeah, but I need to know what RAM you have (Speed, DDR2/3, how many Pins). Everything else should be fine.

    Eh, imo Ram is dirt cheap enough right now that it makes sense to go from 800 to 1066.

    Lol, I think one of these days imma splurge and get 8 gigs of DDR2. I'm hardly using 4, but why the fuck not.

    Hooray for splurging! o/

    @Dr, the motherboard for the Low End rig uses DDR2 1066, which he is going to get.
