bah i'm a bit busy atm, but it would be easier to repost the name of the part and the price eg.

asus a8n-e : $$
video card: $$ etc.

i also can't help u cos i don't know the pricing of computer hardware in US

go for a thermalright or a zalman heatsink.

oh and dont bother with ram heat spreaders. its only really just for looks and doesnt actually help with performance. unless you want that of course then go for it. and im assuming you already have ram then.

as for your power supply get a more reliable manufacturer such as enermax, tagan and antec. your psu is the thing that powers your whole computer so dont cheap out on that. you dont want your computer to go boom now do you

. Other than that it looks fine.

In my experience they're some of the most reliable and coolest(temp wise) heatsinks you can get.

Zalmans are supposed to be pretty quiet compared to stock heatsinks and like way more efficient. ajnd your "crappy/old" cpmputer is basically like my computer

.... I guess I need to upgrade too.

I am the minority here.
