So, since the computer I have right now is starting to feel pretty ancient, I'm in the market to get myself a new one. I'm looking for something within the 800-900$ price range, would like it to include a monitor as well. Purposes of the computer will basically be playing WoW/wc3 while running things such as ventrillo/aim/itunes,and the like. Nothing extremely fancy needed, thanks in advance for suggestions!
