Ok, my parents have decided to buy me a new computer at the end of the school year if I get a 3.5 or higher. [ Pretty easy IMO, just damn spanish 3 -_- ] I want to be able to play all the latest games out for MMORPG's and FPS's. I think my parents budget is going to be around 500$ for me. The rest I'm willing to pay for. Graphics Card Motherboard RAM Hard Drive Sound Card USB ports Case I want everything to fit into a pretty small case so I can travel easily. Since I go to a lot of LAN parties and tournaments. Thanks, let me know!
DO you want to just play the games or play them on r eally high settings. This computer is a peice but can play games like counter strike on low settings. And whats your final budget? DO you prefer AMD or Intel? Do you hate Shuttle like XmasterX? (lol, just messing around xmaster)
are you kidding me? for under 500 u can get better than thaT^^ i mean that blows.... and he also said he will pay for the rest. dont even think about getting the sempron and 80 gb hardrive?? refer to this topic and get what i posted its the best ur gonna get and i think it was a $800 budget..... http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=192017
Oh wow i totally miss understood the post. How does a 1000$ budget sound?

For the shuttle i suggest getting a USB soundcard since there is no extra PCI slot. May i suggest the icemat USB soundcard. (Great for gaming and music) https://www.icemat.com/shop/default.asp?main=products Scroll down until you see the soundcard. (white or black pick your choice)
Just clarify how much you're willing to pay for yourself... then, we shall bombard you with absolutely crappy suggestions.
the shuttle system furious mentioned looked pretty good, that's probably the best of systems there. it might be 200mhz/core behind the 3700+ but when you have two cores you gain so much gaming is a lot smoother since all the other applications including running windows are tossed on a nother core.
