I checked CompUSA's site and their selections are too limited. Maybe for the core, get something like this:

Super Lanboy Aluminum Super Mini Tower Case

Athlon 64 3200+, 2.00 GHz, 2.0 GHz FSB, Socket 939 Processor-In-A-Box
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=329524&pfp=BROWSE

nForce4 Ultra ATX Socket 939 Motherboard for AMD Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX

http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=50312082&pfp=BROWSE
Their prices are high too. You can get some of these on Newegg or other sites for a lower price. Plus, their selections are limited.

Yeah, some of those suggestions above are ok, due to CompUSA's limitations. They only carry so much PC parts. The idea of buying a comlete system is another good idea and just get a new video card to replace the one they have in there. Most systems use integrated graphics there.

Now if you go on Newegg, they have more selections with cheaper pricing. I know one of these chipsets allow full 16x bandwidth for SLi video, but forgot chip one. I think it's the nForce 590 chipset that does that? BUt it's going to cost you a pretty penny.

Lol, it's almost the same like the one I posted for BadNinja. Those specs will let you play ANY games. Hell, it's better than what I got and I can play all games!!!

Go to newegg and design it, considering how long you been about i'm sure you know what to look for.
