Buying a new computer

[Gwen]

Well my hard drive died on me for the second time and Ive lost my music and pictures again! Needless to say Im not a happy panda right now!

I am in the market to buy a new computer, but I would like some ideas. I dont want to spend too much money, but I would like somehting that would be able to handle today's games.

What is a decent reasonably priced video card, and what type of mb should i buy now?
Im not really into dell's or other prepackaged computers, and would rather build it myself.
