I don't know anything at all about specs or what to get, but I want a good gaming PC that can play most games, maybe not at maximum settings, but at least good gameplay.

I'm looking for something under about $700. My friend said that this computer (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227314#SnetMark_21) is a good one for what I need, but I still want to look around more and get some more ideas / help with this.

Don't really want to build my own as well.

Thanks if you can help.
 
Actually thats a decent computer... LOL... what a fail. maybe i shouldve looked at that first. LOL but anyway its not to bad. dont forget your going to need a monitor and it has to be HD.

Yeah. Is that a good gaming computer to buy though? I heard Nvidia is better than ATI.

I don't want to buy that one and figure out there is a better computer with a better deal the next day.
 
The best way to get a computer is to build it yourself. 700 can get you a decent mid level gaming pc. Would you be willing to build it yourself?

Actually you would be better off buying this one and buying the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT, then taking it to your local pc shop to get it installed if your not sure how to.

I'd be willing, but I have no experience in any of this, and am worried that I will mess the computer up, or if some parts aren't compatible or not.
 
Alright. I am a little over budget ($724.88 before tax and shipping) but here is what I have come up with so far:

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103903

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207012
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119077

I think I got everything. Hopefully some of the other members will drop by and give their 2 cents.
 
Save a bit more and buy my beast! well almost double more lol. But i am selling dirt cheap and you will save about 1,000 off what it would cost for you to build the exact same machine at the moment!

It all looks great to me. The extra money is alright because my budget didn't include monitor/mouse/keyboard. If anyone else can confirm this is a good looking computer, then I guess it's a go.
