Quick question for you folks. My computer is old as fuck, I probably built it roughly 8 or so years ago..This box has a Radeon 5700 to get an idea how old this thing is.

The reason for this post is that I've been out of the game for a while now in terms of building a new PC, so I need some ideas here. I used to buy my stuff from NCIX but a friend of mine told me Memory Express is the better option?

I'm looking to keep the new PC around $800 tops, i5 processor, mid-level video card, I assume 12/16GB of ram, etc.

Any suggestions here for a build? Is there a better time to maximize sales at either NCIX or Memory Express to buy my parts, etc?

FYI: I plan to game on this build, but nothing crazy, I'm definitely looking to put a bargain box together here.
