ok so my mum is giving me some of the moneys for a new comp, she thinks itd be better to get one store bought. 388 usd is all she is giving me lol well its big imo after all shes spent on me lately! she thinks building it would cost more than buying a good one for that price. so i will ask. is there any good computer for htat price plus screen thatll let me play any games at all, watch movies and listen to music?

tell your mother the more expensive the computer the more money you save if you build it yourself and as for "playing games" what games you planing on??

oh btw do you mean full desktop (including mous, keyboard etc) and tell us your current computer specs if possible

nehalem is the new micro-architecture getting released by intel meaning newer processors, motherboard etc so i guess that it will drop prices quite a bit
