Shop around on line - I don't know what its like in WA, but over here there are LOADS of little Asian computer stores that sell great stuff at very low prices and offer free delivery and pretty decent service.

currently have AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor 2.8ghz, with 2 gig ddr3 and some rooted graphics card.....
i tried installing my 8800gt i have sitting here, once i plugged it in, it just went BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP..... put the old one back and its fine...
is this a power supply problem being my 8800gt is massive?

if you have a spare power supply laying around, use the pin shorting trick to make it switch on and power the vid card while your existing one powers the rest of your •••••
worked for me for 2 years with the old computer haha

Although that's not his problem Austen. It still should be able to boot, because its not booting and there's a continues beep, means the video card isn't receiving any power at all or its not plugged in properly.
