Hi I want to build a pc that can be used for playing games, but have a budget of 600 pounds (1000 dollars). I will need absolutely everything for this pc - case, power supply, windows xp, EVERYTHING. So if anyone has a list of a bunch of decent parts for this price that will work and are compatible together, or could put me together a list, that would be helpful. Bear in mind I need absolutely everything, excluding the monitor, and keyboard and mouse. Thanks!

well for $1000 you can get a nice computer, newegg.com has some really good parts.
I havent looked online and compared prices, but this is about what you can expect to get:

AMD64 3500+
1GB DDR400 Ram
250GB Hard Drive
550watt PSU (not stock)
nice case
dvd burner/dvd rom
6600gt 128mb
nice mobo
 
Yeah those are just about the right specs I want - but what exact model numbers etc should i get - I really know nothing about what goes with what.

Click to expand...

I edited the wrong crap in my profile.... I do stupid stuff like that a lot ;).

But, I guess to save money you could just go with value select. That minus the keyboard and mouse should bring you down to about $1100 or so.

O yeah just noticed u said u dont need a monitor. That drops the price to under $950 USD. Id get that stuff I mentioned.
 
Um, what all is it you want to do exactly?
becuase if you want to game you could probably go with a 3200+ processor and upgrade that video card.
