for that budget you could get a good mid tower p4 dual core 2 system or athlon dual core with 1 gig maybe 2 gig of ram 250/300 gig hard drive dvdrw and a good graphic card. ebay do some good pc systems made from companys on there that build them and fully tested..and most online shops can do you a system build of your specs minus peripherals. its a matter of choice..if your not a gamer go for the pentium ..as athlon cpus are more for gaming i feel. i would rather have a pc built than buying all the parts and doing yourself..as if you have a system built and theres problems,,the company has to rectify it or replace. and as i said before..most companies that build your spec will test burn in for a cuple of days to make sure its all ok.
