its still strong for todays market...

i got mine custom made
heres what i got...

Pentium4 3.0ghz with HT Technology
512MB Ram at 400mhz
160GB Hard Drive
52x32x52 CD Burner
16x DVD Drive (on second bay)
Altec Lansing Speakers W/Sub Woofer
17" Samsung Monitor
Open Tower w/blue lights (optional but it looks nice...about $100)

Umm if you want a gaming comp then DON'T get an Intel card. I don't think anyone will sell a 'gaming computer' with an intel card in it anyways...but intel cards are horrible.

I got a dell package with mostly that stuff, like the two disk drives, 512mb ram, and a gefore 6800 128mb. The only big thing I got for it was a sweet Logitech sound system, but you only need that if your a constant music freak :P Anyways, including the nice 17inch monitor, it came it at well under $1,000 US, and if you don't want the monitor, optical mouse, etc. then it wont be so bad

*xfxforce site also has motherboards n stuff just have to take time to look around

Alienware is nice and stuff if you have the money to blow on it...I suggest a dell if you wanna save on it. Dell has good deals for a nice gaming comp, and usually have a very nicely designed case, easy to upgrade.

Lol, or you can always go to one of those little computer stores, they are fairly cheap. And some are quite reliable so if you really want to save money thats ur best bet. By the way bell is worthless, they sell all the cheapest parts thats why they so cheap. ny engineer would tell you better off going with an IBM comp.

alienwares are expensive as s.hit....

and dell is a.ss....

DONT get a dell...take my advice

unless u want 5000 un-needed programs/files that will slow the s.hit out of your computer...

i recomend you get it custom made

i got mine made by MDG...its a very well known canadian computer company

and if u do take my advice...get it made at a well known place like me...

cuz there are some s.hitty a.ss places that put together computers and you can get fu.cked over....
