Your best bet is to buy the components and build one yourself. It'd be hard to find a high-performance machine retail that's in your budget. But $1300 will buy components for very capable system. You'll save money by using components from your old system - mouse and keyboard for instance. -Bob

Tada! here is a list of bits that are plenty powerfull enough for games of the (forseeable) future : Leadtek winfast k8n (motherboard) AMD 64 3200+ (CPU) Seagate barrcuda 120Gb 8Mb 7,200RPM (HDD) HIS radeon 9800 PRO (graphics card BenQ DRW800A-OF2 (DVD writer) I leave the case and PSU up to you, Have fun! Kermit is Evil.

i dont know how to build a computer should i just buy the parts and tell my comp store to build it?

Building a computer is easy. Buy the parts and make them by yourself..save some money.

if you dont know how to build one, dont try cause you'll mess it up. if you dont need a monitor, kb, and mouse then 1300 should be more than enough for a high end system. Just go to your local computer store and they'll hook you up. (if it looks too shaddy - skip and go to the next one) My system cost me about 1300CND - thats like 900USD or something. Intel P4 2.6GHz - $200 Asus P4P800 - $150 Kingston 2x256MB ram (Dual Channel) - $100 ATI Radeon 9800 Pro - $450 (should be a lot cheaper now) Sony DRU-510a (DVD burner) - $200 WD 160GB HDD - $100 Case + PSU + Fans - $100 Money not an issue? Where do you live and when are you not home? I'm not gonna rob you, I'm just gonna steal some stuff
