If I go prebuilt HP, but I might build it ordering off newegg just depends on what I find. As far as parts Intel, nvidia i wont to stay with.
I forgot to mention I dont wont to skimp on the CPU, I would rather allocate more of the budget to the board,cpu if I need to. I can upgrade the card fairly easy later on if needed. Unless I can get everthing, that is.

I would just go with a cheap i920 system for that money and keep the graphics card that youve got. For 1500 just get cheap case with a PC power and cooling 750W, if you can use the hard drive from your old pc.
