Well im back still looking for desktops capable of gaming, games like Half life and Hl:S blue shift opposing force, half life 2 Garrys mod, TF2 , Left 4 dead 1 and 2 Plenty of memory for when more games come out my desired price range would be $800.00 or less. I have a monitor and keyboard and mouse but new ones would be awesome... anyway i dont feel like building one on my own. Being 14 i dont have a bank account so if you have a link of it from a store like staples (i dont care) that would be great
another thing is i saw a desktop the price was $699 the description was " LCD and athlon 6.20 ghz, 8GB, nvidia graphics. Pavilion p6257c-b bundle (if i misspelled something sorry) if that sounds like that can play games please tell me and if not please make suggestions remember i want it to be $800 or under please ,thanks

Suggestion: Build one, it's a lot easier then you think, and you get a sweet rig for a good cost.

I'll bet :20bux: that almost everyone is going to suggest building.

First even if these people would help you on a pre-built machine, you would need to give exact specs or link, as what you provided is no help at all. 8GB (DDR,DDR2,DDR3 or what is it running at?) nvidia graphics no specific details, and Athlon at 6ghz LOL.

Man up and do something productive.
Don't say, "I'm lazy" like you're some cool kid or a hard ass.
That shit fuckin' pisses me off.

Good boy.
:banjo:
Also if i build my own how much would it cost for it to be capable of playing those games on my list with little to no trouble?
Most of it is pretty self explanatory. A lot of the cables are color coded and keyed, and the spots on the motherboard are labeled.
[QUOTE=Jerryle3XD;19968214]Also if i build my own how much would it cost for it to be capable of playing those games on my list with little to no trouble?[/QUOTE]
About $500 - $600, source games aren't very demanding.

You should put the HAF 922 in there.
One thing to note about the HAF: It's fucking massive. A buddy of mine bought one. It comes with some wheels that you can put on the bottom to roll it around, but his wheels got crushed under the weight of the case itself.
Good cooling and cable management though, he tells me.

That western digital hard drive has more samsung chips in it than a samsung calculator.
Besides, the spinpoint f3 has a faster read/write speed, and I get an average of 270MB/s read speed from my raid0 of 2x1TB drives.
The F3s are good drives.
