I'm not exactly sure how much it costs to upgrade you hertz but the video card, ram and harddrive show come to close to around $225. I Think. oOo:

Yeah, but with Generic packages comes generic parts. Who knows what crap they put in those cases...it definitely isn't an Asus or Abit Motherboard, or a IBM hard drive.
