    from the way he phrased the question, it sounds like he wants a premade computer though

    i know.

    but he said,, what's a cheap PC that could run all the latest games for a reasonable price.

    I can assure you a $1500 dell won't exactly be doing to well in crysis, but you can assemble some stuff you self for under 1k that can do well in crysis.

    NewEgg [www.newegg.com] is a great place for getting computer parts. Like xlink said, you can put one that works wonders on games for about £500/€680/$1000

    Oh, I love Google's currency converter.

    prices are inflated in the EU.

    £550/€800/$800

    has a good point, but clearly inaccurate
    http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/12/06/the...ices/page9.html
    I've almost always been able to find ~$260 8800GTS 320s on newegg, ZZF, and other etailers.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130309

    ok so it's nwo out of production and harder to find, but 270 + a $50 game, net cost of card is 220...

    In your closet, watching you sleep.
    Newegg.com ftw! :P I recommend building your own, that is what I did. I am glad that I chose that route...it was a lot of fun to put together.

    It's only fun until you do it five times a week.

    Although, putting together a brand new complete system of your own is always fun.
