[QUOTE="MoneyShot, post: 130494, member: 7628"] I have been hand-building computers for the past 10 years, one thing that I have seen as a trend in the past 3 is the larger companies catering to gamers more. Here is a nice dell with the same graphics card I use (nvidia 6800) on a pentium4 560 system with 1GB ddr2 ram, a logitec MX500 and a 17 inct CRT monitor for $1200 http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=D47F2&s=dhs#bottom_anchor in that screen change up the video card to the 6800 and the mouse to an mx500 and you are looking at 1200. if you cut the software and support out it should be no more than 1300 dollars. For a comprable hand built system I could probably do that for about 400 less but for someone who does not feel comfortable with assembling 1000 dollars worth of parts and the 10000 things that can go wrong with it there ya go.
