Are you starting from complete sratch? Like do u need a monitor, keyboard and mouse too.

Those small cases alone are about $100.

Look in an AMD 64 3000+

I already have a monitor and keyboard....etc. I know of newegg but do not know of the best parts (not a computer geek). Can you guys list the best parts that would be at most 550 bucks.

Are you a gamer? What do you intend to do with the computer?

 

[gilad50303]

I do play games (BF2 mainly), but I do not intend to play the games on full of course since this would be a cheap rig.
