.. but I find myself on newegg.com for hours trying to custom build a computer. Every build seems to go way over budget $500-$600max(less would be great:D if possible??) The main factor contributing to this is probably that I know jack s*** about computers:mad:. I've read some threads around here to try and inform myself but it really gets me no where. Well in the computer all I want to do is play Counter-Strike maybe maybe maybeeee Diablo-3 when it comes out, have Microsoft Word, I-tunes, and go on Facebook and a few other web sites at the same time. If someone could give me some guidance on a build or if i should just go with something pre-made please provide your input. THANK YOU!
 
What all is needed? Keyboard/mouse/display/os? Im assuming just the tower and os, as it would be pretty tough to squeeze in a keyboard/mouse/display into $600
 
Under $600 gaming tower list from newegg @ 27/07/09

$593, MIR $100, excluding shipping and tax. I try to select product with free shipping and combo deal, and get as much MIR as you can. But the price could change when you actual purchase it.
