Reply: (edit)If going to buy a complete system, IMHO stay away from proprietary or brand names..Dell, Gateway, SONY is the worst..at least buy a premade from tigerdirect or your local computer shop..this will give you 'options' down the road I'd try http://www.pcclub.com/systems.cfm

Reply: (edit)heh i dont know what you guys are talking about. If you want a great gaming pc buy one of the ALIENWARE comps or build your own AMD XP 2400(or higher) and put about 512-1024mb of RAM. HD about 60gb is good enough and for video card get a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra or ATI Radeon 9600 XT, their pretty cheap for its value.

Reply: (edit)Obviously Alienware is not for people with a budget. I recommend building it yourself. I would get these parts: ***These are US prices so you would have to do the math*** AMD Athlon XP 2500 ~ $90
Abit NF7-S ~ $105
WD or Maxtor 60gig Hard drive ~ $70
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro ~ $150
512 Mb PC3200 DDR Ram (geil or Corsair) ~ $90 That leaves about $200 US dollars (do the math) to get the rest of the stuff
