Looking to buy a new pc ... help

Caloran

Hey, im pretty stupid when it comes to hardware and such.  Having said that building my own pc is not really an option.  Ive been browsing around on Ebay and such and im wondering how this PC is?

(would likely upgrade to the 8800 GT video card on this one)

Im on a somewhat limited budget and Iam trying to stick in the $600-$800 price range.  Any insight and or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, Cal.

god are those cases tacky.

 

my advice.. educate yourself about computer hardware, spent a few weeks reading reviews, trends, and getting up to date on computer tech. you'll be able to make a much more informed decision about any future computer purchases with a better understanding of the components that go in them.

CPU: Intel e8400

Memory: 3GB (if using Vista 32bit) or 4GB (if Vista 64bit)
DDR2 800 (or faster memory speeds)

GPU: 8800gt, 9600gt and ATI 3870 are the cheapest graphics cards you'd want to get for gaming.
