Good luck with the graphics card Elliott, let us know what happens. The pcs links you provided seem like good values, but I would make sure to check out specs fully as I expect some of these do not have the ubs 3.0. I have one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-DC5800-Deskto...4adf6ce2dd
but bought it locally, and while it seems great, fast, solid it only has usb 2.0 and seems to be about the same vintage as at least some of these. Also check the specs for psu's on these units as some especially the small form factor units have 240W-250W or so, and even the towers often have 300-375W or so. Just something to keep in mind.
Sorry, still don't understand exactly where the usb 3.o comes in ... you need it to view movies form existing discs, or you need it ti transfer? I pretty much don't do anything with storing movies so I am not really familiar with all this. Wondering of Firewire might be an option.
Sometimes OVERSTOCK.com has some decent deals as well: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Com...:Computers
Good luck!
