buy a crap computer, like a $250 dell, then buy some used ram and a used video card. overclock the cpu, if u know how to do it. otherwise get someone who has done it to do it for u. then spend the rest on games. i have a computer like this, it was a $300 dell dimension 2350 i put in a cheap ATi radeon 9200 and upgraded to 1 gig ram and another hard drive. i dont use it for gaming, but one time when the comp i am on now broke down, i used it for playing counter-strike source. workd perfectly no lagsrudster816 said:ok all i need is a

oh yeah i didnt think about that. someone told me that lol not only 3000 its all dells. thats why dell sucks.thebigdintx said:all that is good advise, however, unless something has changed, you are locked out from overclocking a dell's cpu. at least i know i can't on this dimension 3000 i have...i wanted to do it a while back and found out you can't.

It's basically an underclocked X1950PRO, so it overclocks like no other; you're almost guaranteed to get X1950PRO speeds. Even at stock speeds, it's a bit better than the 7600GT.
Just a suggestion.
