Gaming PC For Cheap - Hardware & Software

Are there any decent gaming PC's for a low price (somewhere from less than $400 but no more than $600). I need a good PC for gaming but I don't want to/ don't have the money to spend a ton on one.

Build one.

What do you have already? If you have any old desktop, spare that has a mouse, keyboard, monitor, optical drive, and hard drive you can cut some costs, because those things never really go out of date. And then you can build a good gaming pc for 400.

[/QUOTE] I have an old, extraordinarily crappy eMachine PC that I could take the Hard Drive and case from but the only issue with that is that it got virus'd bad and the system.32 file got corrupted so i cant even start it up at all so i'm not so sure about using that Hard Drive.

It contains hundreds, if not thousands of necessary system files. Viruses can only affect a computer once it's started booting into an OS. Just format the drive and use it in your new computer.

The hard drive doesn't have a virus. Windows on it does. Do you have a windows xp disc so you can do a fresh install? If not, you may need to add, windows 7 to your budget. Also, I would suggest not using the case of that. It may not be able to fit the new hardware. [editline]06:36AM[/editline] Ninj'd again. Sort of.
