Default Cheap Gaming PCs/Laptops

I'm tired of hell as the Mac that our family uses (They play no good god damn games) and I'm looking to buy my own. Can anyone reccomend a cheap gaming computer that works well around the 600-700 and below price range? Also, I need a decent video card that can play games like Battlefield 2142.

Thanks!

That would work well for gaming?
I love the price, but I dunno if I can love its specs.

Hmmm... I think that maybe if that PC had 250 GB hard drive 2 GB Ram and better graphics? Then it would be alrite. But then i dunno if that's good value for money coz... lets just say I'm not familiar with American currency...

650 for that, bad idea! You can get much better than that for 650, especially if you were willing to build it yourself.

6150 graphics, lol, so up to date!

I don't think there is such thing as a cheap gaming PC or laptop.
