I'm looking to buy a new computer but retail stores are overpriced for parts i dont need. I already have the cd / dvd drives and 1 gb of pc3200 memory. I also have an old computer that has a virus that you can take apart and maybe use the tower? Anyway I want to be able to play games on it but im not a hardcore gamer. I guess it needs an OK graphics card but nothing too crazy, as long as it is compatible with games. Also a decent processor and motherboard?
Can anyone help? Thanks, Dan |

Cuz u didn't say the budget, where u'r located, what kind of computer u have right now, cuz virus is nothing major, what kind of games u wanna play. Nothing specific, need more info here. |
