Well here is what i have right now its just a rental from aarons, im looking to buy a pc at the end of the month and my budget keeps flexating. I do like this pc however id like a little bit more power, however I do love the monitor so getting something like it is a must.

23 inch hp lcd non 1080p monitor w/ 1920x1280

Pegatron M2N7B-LA <- no idea what the specs are on it cant find them
Amd athlon ii x2 240 2.8ghz
besttec 250 watt psu
wd cavair blue 500gb hd
radeon 4350 512mb gddr3?
5gb ddr3 1066mhz samsung
Windows seven

HAVE OPTICAL DRIVE/WINDOWS XP PRO OS/ cant use any of the old parts in new build.
 
250 watt power supply??!! I'm suprised that computer is still running lol my 500w crapped out a few days ago and I had to pick up a 700w, amazzingggg. You'll definitely need a better psu...

Would like to build as cheaply as possible but still keep it well, I play games like wow, currently 20-60fps max, would like 40-80fps if possible. Must have monitor 20+. Sorry for so many posts want to be most informed before buying.
 
yeah i know it needs a new psu, but this is a Rental pc i just posted the specs as im just looking for something a little bit better budget 300-600us

Um, crap lol. Its a Raidmax that came with my Raidmax Smilodon Case. Mine lasted 2 years, compared to most peoples 2 days lol. My new PSU is GREAT, its a Sigma Focus 700w with 800w peak. Got it from Newegg for like 50 bucks.

Woah now. No need to freak, I simply asked what the rig in your signature is because that looks like a good rig and its different than what you posted at the top.
 
how much are you looking to spend on the entire thing including the monitor? what do you want to do with it? would you be willing to build yourself?

Ah sorry man just saw it going off on a tangent and thought people where just commenting on the psu on a computer I can not keep. I do apologize was stupid, yes unfortunately I no longer have that pc, and did not read that had to sell it due to finincial reasons.

To the person inquiring about the computer, yes i will be building it myself I came up with a list here, I am looking for something just a little bit better than the rental rig im using im not sure if its my wireless netcard but it does lag a little bit. I am looking to use it for light gaming/websurfing/dvds. My budget is around 400usd, i know it sounds cheap but i know it can be done with a 80-100usd monitor off craigslist.

Sigma is an off brand just like Raidmax. A decent 520W such as an antec neopower probably outputs more, and far cleaner power than your "800W peak" unit.

$400 including display and OS? Or just $400 including display(or $400 excluding display). The last two are doable...$400 with display and OS probably isnt though.
