My stats:
AMD athlon xp 2800+-cost me 80 dollars(paid my friend 90 because he let me pay him later)-so don't dis me, and it came with the motherboard
which is an NF7-S
X800XT all in wonder GPU-300 dollars If I remember
512 MB RAM-40 dollars
120 MB HDD-free (christmas present) It was external but I took it apart and put it in my computer
integrated sound : (
Monitor-free 1600x1200 (friend's dad's work got rid of computer stuff, they were throwing away the best monitor I have ever owned)
wireless KB and mouse-30 dollars (works great, too)
CD-RW was from my brothers old comp-free (only 12x, but I never use it anyways and it works well enough when I do)
5.1 speakers (x530 from logitech)-30 dollars on newegg with thanksgiving discount that I recieved from newegg because I bought a 300 dollar graphics card.
DVD rom from old comp-free
PSU from friend 50 dollars (worth 70, he got the wrong one and wanted to get rid of it...)
Case from the same friend-10 dollars (really old, but I spraypainted it, looks like It cost 50 dollars, you can see your reflection in it (used special paint that bonds to plastic-looks nice, if you have a crap case, try painting it, I painted the drives, too)).
Black glossy spraypaint- two dollars
Total 552 dollars-give or take 10
It plays Halo on full settings, 1600x1200-no lag, period.
The above was written to try to own someone else... not you. The only difference is the graphics card and RAM. It cost me next to nothing for my computer and it runs games at great settings. I'm sorry for gramatical errors. Anyway, I reccomend an ATI card x700 or above, or an nVidia GeForce 6800. You don't need to spend a fourtune on your computer-just your graphics card.
Oh, and...
