Cheap gaming pc's? It should be windows 32-bit OS and the RAM should be 2-3 GB, the processor should be core 2 duo or pentiun d 2.5 Ghz, The graphic card, you can choose the cheap one but more quality and the latest ones. If you didn't know about this, look for my pc specs on my sig as the reference for you. Cost of the parts includes the PSU, keyboard, mouse, speakers, casing and others costs at about RM 1500 ( USD 430)

Well its cheaper if you build it yourself or someone you know that can do it. But I would say this is best price vs performance prebuilt that you can get on gaming right out of the box. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227151&cm_re=ibuypower-_-83-227-151-_-Product - $690

Find the following on sites and you should be happy: - AMD Athlon X4 630 - Gigabyte nForce 520LE AM2+/AM3 - Kingston HyperX 2x2GB 800mhz - Samsung F2 500GB HDD - OCZ ModXStream 500w PSU - Palit GeForce GTS 250 - Antec 300 - DVD drive of your choice, I recommend getting 2 for directing copying Wont break the bank and will run everything you throw at it and at the very least some newer games will run on high settings not fully maxed out i.e. Gamer settings on crysis warhead. The 250 is a 9800GTX+ which is much better than my 8800GTS 320MB that hasn't let me down yet, plays every game out at med/high.

It's a little bit more then that. It's a slightly more energy efficient 9800GTX+ and it also performs a little bit better and carries a smaller price tag compared to the 9800GTX+. I've also seen that the 250 only requires one 6-Pin PCI-E connector where as the GTX+ requires two in most cases. It's also pretty easy to do Tri-SLI or SLI+PhysX with the GTS 250s because they are so inexpensive.

You can get an HP firebird from the Best Buy website for $999 and zero percent financing for 18 months. That means you have 18 months to pay it off without any interest. IT's a great deal. And the compuer itself is pretty good.

I was refering to performance, the 9800GTX+ and the GTS 250 are litteraly 2-4FPS difference in most games... besides I was trying to give him a rough Idea of what he settings he should be able to pull by comparing it to my gpu that weaker, I wasn't comparing the GTX+ and the 250 which are pretty much the same.
