I guess I reached the limits of my Pentium 4 Dell 8300. It was already struggling to run Pro Tools anyway, but when I tried to remove some programs to free up some space, somehow I caused XP to became unresponsive. I ended up having to reinstall xp. But, since it is getting old, microsoft has dropped support for xp, and my disc is service pack 1, I'm having difficulty finding the required updates, drivers, and whatever else to get it going. I'm going to get some help getting it going and just use it for something other than recording.
Ive been doing a lot of reading and I've put this list together. I havn't shopped around much, I got these prices and model #'s are from newegg.com to get a general idea. I'll be using it with PT M-powered 8 and a Profire 2626.

I would still need a graphics card to run my dual monitors, a case, a power supply, and I have no idea what else. Oh, and probably some help. I'd like to keep it under $1000. How does this look so far?
