Is $700 enough?

BUNJIMAN · 10-08-2005, 08:20 PM

I'm looking for a good gaming computer, and I was wondering if $700 is too cheap. The computer I'm looking at has an Athlon 64 3200+ processor, a gig of RAM, 200 gigs of hard drive space and a FSB speed of 400MHz. I'm not sure about the graphics, but I'm just going to buy a GeForce anyway. So please help me out, I need to know by Tuesday.

yea it should be enough, but u wont get that much of a good quality rank products with it. but its enough for the computer only, no mouse etc. your video card wont be that great tho... unless ur getting some rebates for ur other products. ill come back later with some specs.
