I would just build my own computer, as I was looking through that site, and my new computer cost about $800, the same computer on their site cost around $1000.


My rig:

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 939
ATI Radeon X800XL 256mb
Dual Channel OCZ 1 GB RAM
Asus A8N SLi Motherboard
WD 80GB SATA Hard Drive.
Aspire X-Dreamer II Case.

EDITl: OMFG!

The 6200 isn't very good. Its performance is very close to an FX5200 or lower...

Then again, probably better than integrated - a lot better :D

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I was just about to say that.
I would reccomend at least a 6600GT. I also think the RAM should be upgraded to at least 1GB.

It is a cool looking case, but that is about it. If you plan on getting the default model then get ready for upgrades, and for god sakes make sure you get at least a 3700+ processor. also, upgrade to at least 1 gig or RAM as soon as possible. Whoever said the 6200 wasnt a good card is retarded, and he even said it was equal to a 5200. THEY ARE A GENERATION APART TARD!!! The 6200 is a so-so card, but I would reccomend a 6800 gt or a 6800 GS or whatever the new one is called. Also, a card is only as good as the processor, so make sure you get a good one. If you do all that then you would be pretty set up.

A 6200 is a crap card, face it, just because you probably have one dosen't make it good.

Here is a comparison between the 6200, 6600, and some other cards and their performance on Halo.
The 6600 is better than the 6200, and the 6600GT would be even better than the regular 6600.

That's on Halo - if you ever try to play a new game like F.E.A.R. with it you'll trudge along at unplayable rates. Get at least a 6600GT. I'd also say that if you get a 3000+, overclock the bejeezus out of it. That, or got for a 3500+ or above [Venice of course]. Otherwise, it will be a bit on the slow side.
