My grandpa said he's giving me 500 to 600 dollars to go buy a PC. I already have a monitor, and I would like a decent gaming PC. Where should I look? (And I can't build one myself, I'm not very talented with engineering.)
 
That's sort of like asking, I like air, where should I breathe it?

There's a bunch of sites all around the Internet selling computers. I recommend newegg.com, Dell, directron.com. I know there's a bunch more that custom build, but I've had good experiences with those stores.
 
I would be happy to build you a very good comp if you like. I would consider myseld a "tech head" and have built several comps. I wouldn't even charge you much for labor. Maybe 50 bucks? We could make it an e-bay deal just for peace of mind if you want. If you are inteirested than PM me o-mail me. Im allways looing for opertunities like this so tell your friends.
 
Good thinking drunken_master. I'm good with computers too, but I didn't think to offer my services. Maybe you're not too drunk after all :) Sorry, corny joke.
 
Thanks for the offer, but no. I would rather buy it from a reliable online store or better yet, a B&M here in Austin. I just need to know what I'm looking for. I have no idea, I'm very un-tech saavy.
 
if you buy from dell, you can find a bunch of coupons on fatwallet. i got a few computers for like 300 (not for gaming) and a laptop for under 500 using the coupons.
 
Woo, I'm tired. I've been searching for a decent gaming PC under a thousand greenbacks, and it's not possible unless you build your own. Argh!
 
9800 is about the best damn card you can buy. The kicker is that it is expensive, about 300-350 for a pro. You can get a 256 9600 for around 100-150 though.
