take the x4 cpu and buy a Radeon HD48xx or a radeon HD57xx/HD58xx; the tigerdirect links give me what seems to be the start page, so I cannot look into the specific items. And, the PSU should be something like a 600W 80+ - try OCZ, cause the ones that come bundled are usually (s)crap. and the cpu should be at least a AMD Phenom X4 945 My point here (and anyone's welcome to kick me to the floor) is that you're about to build a two year old mid-end system, which will allow you to play current games, but only those which are built on upgraded older engines (ie CDMW2). Internet and media will work like a charm, though. (internet does on basically any system of the 2000's).
