My laptop's on life support ( both fans are dead and I'm using a tower fan to keep it from over heating ), and I'm looking into getting something new because the thing's not worth replacing being it's snail slow. I want a [B]decent[/B]( not incredible ) gaming rig and I need opinions as to what I can get for best price. I'd say 600$ is definitely my limit right now. Which of these 3 is a good package deal? If you know a better option please reccomend it.

do you need a monitor?
Out of those choices I guess number 2 would be your best bet.
If you see no alternative, such as building it yourself, go with [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=83-227-241&ReviewNo=2069619&SortField=0&Pagesize=10&IsFeedbackTab=true&rdm=33#scrollHelpful1"]this[/URL].
You should really build it yourself.
It's easy as hell. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't go there. So long as you don't force anything, you should be fine. [url]http://www.pcityourself.com/building/introduction.php[/url]

With mail in rebates, it's only $50 over budget (assuming you have a dvd drive somewhere), and is nearly twice as powerful.

Seems like a good setup. I've never built one. I've been educating myself more on software than hardware. So you'd forsure recommend these parts? I doubt the case I have is big enough so I might get that one, and the Windows 7 copy... Well I have a way of getting that. So it may be under budget? Unfortunately my DVD drive is pretty old. It's operational but how do I tell if it's compatable?

Not to derail but you might wanna check out the WOT reviews for that site:

Yeah, I'd recommend those parts. The dvd drive should be fine as long as it's sata (or at least [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA]ATA[/url]), it should be fine. If you're worried though, you can just pick up a cheap read/write drive. Shouldn't cost more than $20/30.

They were getting malicious advertising for a while, yeah. Avast free, AVG free, and nod32 haven't had an issue with the site for a while, so I'd assume it's safe now.
If it makes someone feel better I could just copy the text and have links to their youtube videos.

Why not change the 965 for a 955, the performance increase ain't worth the money, and you can easily overclock it to 965 speeds.

Whoops. I didn't notice that.
OP, here, same deal except the 965 is replaced with the 955.
