sorry i don't want to upgrade my current pc

and also i'm not THAT familiar with hardware to build my own pc

although i wouldn't mind giving it a go

i think i would need a lot of help if i was to build my own rig.

going back to my point ..

which quad core is a good choice to upgrade to a gaming pc.

on the dell site says £170 for a 8800gt which sounds pretty steep

and yes a monitor is included in that price

i like crysis,cod4, need for speed most wanted couldnt get gears of war to work.

about £400-£450...i like fps and car racing games

also would it be a good idea to buy a business pc and upgrading it to a gaming pc

as i find them a bit cheaper if so i had the dell vostro 410 in mind.
