I asked about those because the video card should be stressed more than the cpu here if you want to play any games at all.

I can't hop on newegg and give you a list of specs cause my internet is way too slow, but i'll list a few things you should be able to buy.

I doubt you can go conroe with 700 bucks, so lets go with a...
AM2 3500+ ($91)
7600GT ($150)
1GB DDR2-800 ram (~$100?)
get a ~$70 motherboard.
40 bucks on mouse/keyboard
50 bucks to get a monitor
200 bucks to get a case, powersupply, harddrive and cd drive

edit: Guys..let's stop fighting and play nice

Thanks for the advice, but I'm looking for a CPU already put together from like a company or something. I was originally going to get an eMachine at Wal-mart, but my online friends told me, "Oh hell no!" So... I joined this forum for some advice...

Do you know what CPU stands for? we thought you were talking about a Central Processing Unit, or the processor, not a prebuilt computer.

What you want is a pre-built tower, which some people improperly call the CPU. So if you are going to do that, I would go with a Dell or HP. I don't know what models off the top of my head. Just look for a decent CPU (Processor) and video card, and it should play those two games fine. I;ve never played them, but I think they arent very graphic intensive (correct?) so just a basic or decent CPU will do fine. With your budget your looking at like a P4 3.0Ghz, something in that area.
