So I've been trying to price out parts for a new computer to build, but I'm mixing and matching a lot so it's hard to say. I might either start completely from scratch or start with an older AMD X64 from a HP Microtower that I repaired recently.

I'm looking to spend no more than $300 on a machine that's half-way decent. I don't really need to make something SUPER DUPER, but something that can allow me to play up-to-date games and also games that I've missed out on in the last 4 years or so. Believe me, I'm way behind.

So we'll see how it goes. I'll be happy if I can play Rainbow Six Vegas and Vegas 2 and STALKER, and if I'm lucky Fallout 3, but that I doubt.

Still nice to dream though...
