    seems to good to be true though, id like this to be under 500 cuz i just fried my motherboard like 2 weeks ago. thanks
    btw, i dont care much about harddrive, space. 40+ gbs is good, i dont use to much.. and whys this so cheap? there must be something to it

    It’s a celeron, it’s a light duty chip,not good for gaming. There is no video card, also not good for gaming. This one has a better CPU, but still no video card. Adecent card will run you about 100.00

    I have an e-Machines T6532, these are very cheap computers made by Gateway for the retail market. It is sitting on the floor, unused.

    If you look hard, you can build your own entry level gaming rig for about 615.00, but this bare minimum in my opinion. The first link has an 800.00 gaming rig on it suitable for a first time builder.

    Hope that this will help. If you use the OS out of the fried computer, you could do it for about 525.00. These are the parts I was looking at, one note, the PSUs that come with a case are not usually good quality.

    I am NOT saying go buy these parts, I would have to spend a little more time making sure they are 100% compatible. This is just an example. This does have a video card with it, and I dont think I missed anything.

    Good luck
