Can someone give me a cheap decent gaming build, good enough for Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2 :) around $500 or $600, thanks in advance.

Vista home premium 64-bit - 109.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116488

total with shipping before rebates - 655.89
total after MIR - 595.89

both of these will run circles around the vista4334's build(faster CPU, faster GPU, faster and larger HDD, and cheaper)
 
With a budget of 500 or 600$ you can afford some amazing stuff.
You can put together a descent gaming pc with 200-250$ that
could run crysis. Id just go to tigerdirect.com or newegg.com or
geeks.com and assembly one yourself :)
 
i thought i replied to a thread of this :cool: obviously not.

you'll want vista for gaming because it supports DX10 and it needed for you gamers.

How? lol. It doesn't support DX10, what could possibly be better?

I wouldn't say amazing, but good. And a $200 PC that can run Crysis, that's really hard to believe.

The E7200 should be perfect for this build.
