I'm looking into to buying a new computer but am on a budget. What could i get from between 700-800 dollars. I'd be using it mostly as a gaming computer but would also like to run a wide vareity of software on it. It could be anything from a stock computer to a build your own. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Leaves you with alot of room to upgrade/overclock you system too.
 
thanks

Thanks it looks good to me but I have to admit I have limited knowledge in that area. If any one else has other ideas or a computer I could buy off a shelve it would be helpful
 
well you could try DELL or some where like that but you will probably have to pay alot more for a prebuilt system.
 
That looks like a good solid all round system, a little overclocking (if you want to!) and it could fly!

The 80 gig hard drive that he listed on there for $53...You can get better for cheaper. On Sunday...or maybe Monday at Staples...they are having a sell.

200 GB hard drive for $39.99. It's normaly $119.99 but $40 instant savings and then a $40 dollar mail-in rebate. So yes, it will cost you 79.99 at first..but you'll get 40 back. Much bigger, cheaper and better.

Same goes for you memory..to save a bit. It's PC3200..512 DDR400 for 39.99 a stick. He has listed PC4000 for you. I'm not sure it's worth it to go PC4000. Your motherboard is designed for PC3200 so I would stick with that. It's backwards compatible only so you'll actually probably hurt performance

Well, what about Alienware Computers? They are the best gaming computer at all time. :) You may have to look it up because I haven't been there for a month or more... The price may be changed and expensive, but i'm sure there is some computer is between $700-800 :)

Alienware isn't usually your best deal. Follow Praetor's advice, but get a 6800GS CO like mgoldb2 said
 
Yeah, go ahead follow Praetor because he's smarter than I am... Just not sure about Alienware yet this month, haha... Hope you pick the best :) Take It Easy,
