-iBUYPOWER Gamer 925-XT Core 2 Duo E6750(2.66GHz) 2GB DDR2 500GB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT Windows Vista Home Premium - Retail

Processor - Core 2 duo E6750 or Q6600 (cheap and very decent processors)
Graphics - 8800GT (remember you can buy this individually very easily) personal preference anyway you can easily chuck in a different card.
Memory - 2GB would suite most of your needs (stick with DDR2)

Those are the 3 key parts of your gaming PC, I do suggest you look around a bit but if your going to buy a new PC try to aim for those sort of parts.

You will save A LOT of money from building your own PC but if you decide to buy aim for those sort of parts.

Are you secure in constructing it yourself? If you are, I am basically the best person here to recommend parts.

NZXT does NOT make good power supplies. If you're using such a decent graphics card--grab something better. Other options?

Next... why the ATI graphics card on an nVidia chipset board? If you're going for ATI, get a board with an Intel chipset (P35).

I wouldn't recommend Windowx XP MCE 2005 either... Win Vista HP would be a better choice. I've not use the MC portion of the OS yet, though I took a quick look at it. It's the same as WinXP MCE but with better drivers compatibility.

Dang, everyone's playing Crysis these days. It's gonna be the next Halo. blink.gif

Anyways, I think XPS are the best gaming rigs for the money. Maybe not as cheap as a home-built one, but it's cheap enough and has nice quality and looks.
Here's a link
