Lawl I'll try. But its really hard. You'll probably end up with low amounts of RAM that might give you a bottleneck in gaming performance lol. $400 dollars US/Can

Total Cost After Rebates: $402 US/Canadian

 

PS: Use Windows XP or Windows 7. Don't have a disk? Go torrent it. Don't buy that overpriced crap =P

 

Suggestion:

 

If I were you I would throw down $60 more. That way you can get 4 GB ddr3 ram and a Better video card. The 9800 GT is a pretty decent card (but you can always do better and get a HD 4850 or GT 250) and 2 GB ram will be a bottleneck for sure for future games (at the moment 2 GB is fine for current games. Most PCs nowadays have so much ram that they don't even use 50% of the capacity. But it is still ideal to get 4GB incase because for certain games, that extra memory will help )

Best Choice for a Used Computer:

 

If you don't mind used computers, just go with thundercunts first craiglist post. It is still a bargain especially since your getting a nice GTS 250 (I don't like the processor but for that price how can you complain). You just have to watch out (inspect it to make sure nothing is gimicky with it or faulty hardware).

[Krayzie]

I thought you didnt want Windows 7? The Compaq has Windows 7 on it. If your going to get one with that, like I said, get the Dell Inspiron.

0 Chance it can even run COD4 over 25 fps. You will never be able to find a gaming computer from Bestbuy, CompUSA, Staples or Office Depot that are under $1400. Finding any gaming computer under $400 dollars is almost a near to impossible task. Building one under $400 dollars is pretty hard already.

 

Here are your best options

 

1.) Build it yourself. If you don't have the knowledge get help from a friend. A lot of people follow youtube vids to help them build their first gaming computer.

 

2.) If you can't build it, buy on craigslist or ebay. You won't ever be to find a new gaming computer for this price so your best chance is to get a used one. I suggest you go back and look at Thundercunts post because he posted a decent gaming comp for only $300 and I can guarentee you'll never get a better deal than that. Also Desu you should consider getting it since you said you needed a gaming comp cheap.

 

Tips: If you want a computer that can play most games today (not every game but will play most of them). You will have to settle for a GT 240 or 4670 or higher video card. You can get some nice cheap ones on newegg for a decent price.
