eBay may be a great place to look if he wants to buy a used gaming computer, just be careful since a lot of sellers use very cheap components.

Now when you say CS, do you mean the original Counter Strike or Source?

I would assume he means source.
If youre looking to buy one from one of us, you need 100 posts to post in the Wanted/Selling thread section.

Would you consider building it your self?
Whats your price range?

Ad For Tux:
Not sure what your price range is but Tux has got a nice one on the bay.

You can contact him VIA ebay/email if you have any questions or once you have 1000 posts on this thread, you can pm

EDIT: If hes just using it for Source and WoW, he doesnt really need too much. I can run both those on low and my computer was extremely cheap.

Yeah i have built several computers for myself, but my roomate is way too lazy and wants the 'best' of the best... lol hes willing to throw around 1 g
Thanks a lot!

1g is not going to get him best of the best. It will get him a solid gamer though. And it he is looking to buy one from Dell or someplace like that, you can tell him he will be spending $4000 or more for a best of the best system.

If he builds it, our you build it for him, you can get a very solid system that will play wow and CS at high settings for around $1000. But it will not play Crysis at ultra high settings. For that you can double the cost.

Tux has a great build right there! Cheap, AWESOME SPECS, and a great price! (if it stays that low...)

If you can put together a set of Lego's, you can put together a gaming computer. Just buy the parts and assemble it, save yourself a good sum of money + better performance + Pwn factor of building.

Have a look here, it should give you an idea on how to build a computer:
