I only built my pc like 2 months ago but I've got the build bug and I want to build another ill properly sell my current one then with the cash buy all the components I need. I have a couple of questions.

*First how much do you think I would get for my current one?

Windows Xp Pro Sp2
Pentium 4 3.0Ghz Ht
2.00Gb Ram
80Gb Hard drive x 2
XFX GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR3
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Creative I-Trigue 3200 2.1 Sound System
DELL E173FP 17-inch Flat Panel Colour LCD
S**t keyboard & mouse :D (have not upgraded yet)

*What is the fastest p4 currently available I've seen a 3.6Ghz do they go faster? what is the different between Prescott and the other one. How much do Amd's 64bit processor go for?

What is the best pci express motherboard?

Last one :D A good 17inch screen, flat of course :D .

I'd personally go for a LCD T.V. that can work as the display for the comp and T.V. viewing, of course it'll cost more than just a monitor.
Complexity of incoherent design.

It did not cost as much as you may think I got the Hd's, p4 3.0Ghz & the monitor from my old dell. How much would you expect to pay for my system now? And anyone now a good pci express motherboard?

You probably cant sell the PC for as much as it would sell in the store.

I recommend AMD 64.
