Igonre the POLL QUESTION plz it is massed up!
This is a present my mom bought it for me about 2 years ago if I remember it correctly.
Here it is:
umm can't do word formt why? any way the pics has been moved to the bottom...
So the problem I’m facing is should I upgrade this or build a new one myself. As you can see, this is a pre-build Dell, which leaves me no room for OCing. But if I get a new mobo, RAM, or GPU. I might as well as build a new rig.
This is what I want build, it is a basic build did not add any output devices. suggestions would be great and im still deciding on buying vista or xp(i know i know... vista suck... but vista supports dirctx 10 and some other games, you know... halo2... plus it has much better security then xp)
MOBO

Definetly upgrade!
Also, thats kind of what my setup looks like 
Antec 900 has great airflow, but its very conformist  , as in, everyone has it. If you want to be unique, search around. But that really doesn't matter unless you go to LAN parties.
Umm, if you are into modding (case modding), great choice of case and parts.
I am a little iffy about the Powersupply... Use with caution...
Also, you really dont need all those wattages.

Just build a new one, upgrading a Dell is like giving a baby a gun.

Get a new PC or build one. Don't waste your time upgrading a PC that will become obsolete in the next 6 months.

agreed! those parts are for my new build indeed... but i still need cooling suggestions and i think i better get a filter up quickly before my case sucks in too much dirt. my friend has the same case and he told me that it is a pain in the ass with out filter for a antec 900 case...
So, Suggestions?

If your going to OC your CPU just look for a ZALMAN heatsink...
Also look for one, where the fan points to the top of the case (you have a 200mm fan up there, use it to help suck the CPUs heat out!)

Watercooling is a reliable cooling method.

The only reason his is collecting dust is because he probably didn't wire it too well.
More fans = more airflow = more movement inside the case = less settled dust.
Maybe he doesn't have them set up right either (blowing in & blowing out)

dont get watercooling... especially if you dont like noise...
That is nice if its facing towards your 200mm fan in the antec its an automatic win!
since that fan will blow out hot air in your case, (heat rises), and then the 200mm will suck it out

On my motherboard it is situated to face the side, I don't think you can make it face up; although that really isn't a bad thing, All of the fans can be situated (turned around) to suit your needs.
Bam is a bit over-exuberant on that topic anyway.
