Are you a gamer? You don't care about graphics,and want to play those new games? This system is for YOU! Which I already owned. Can play pretty much any new games:

1GB MemoryDirt cheap high capacity RAM

MATX BoardMade for cheap people like YOU! Has all function with all the gimmicks out the way. As said before, this is built with high quality materials by Intel. Able to use Pentium 4, D, Core 2 Duo, and possibly Core 2 Quad. Features PCI-Express x16, onboard video and onboard sound.

Intel Core 2 Duo E2160Fast Dualcore that can run any games given. Neutralized L2 cache and FSBmakeslittle performance lost compared to fully function 1300 FSB and 4MB L2 Cache.Runs at 1.8GHZ, which can be overlocked to 3.0+ GHZ depending on the motherboard and using high-end aircooling such as Ultra-120 Extreme. Based on the motherboard provided, you can only get to 2.0-2.2GHZ. Remember, Intel has a code in the chip. If you ever need to RMA your chip, it's imposible because overclock=killed warranty.Most gamesare graphics dependant anyways.

Harddrive Cheap hardrive that's only purpose is to store with decent capacity and speed.

GRAPHICS CARD *Da main thing games chew on*

RIGHT NOW, the total cost is 183 + Shipping/tax. You have a choice of video card you wish to purchase:

8600GTS$149.99 (I don't do rebate. Usually it's BS and takes forever to receive)
Total cost: $350.00.

OR YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT NOT BEING A GRAPHICS WH*** AND GET THIS:

8800GTS $259 Crim dolla crim video card at a mid-range pricing. Wow! You don't need that extra 10-25 FPS with crazy overclocks that ends up with more heat.
Total cost: $453.00 wow!!! Only thing you need now is a cheap PC chassis with a mid-range PSU that isn't overpriced. 400w recommended with a system on stock speed (CPU/GPU).

Enjoy!
