OK this might be a bit of a challenge it's my first post so i will try to be clear and precise. I own a DVD/CD burner drive (whatever you may want to call it) and some Ram (1GB) but i am on a budget mind you this system doesn't have to be top of the line I just want to be able to eventually with more money upgrade it to a respectable gaming system. I like the shuttle xp cases as well as the amd cpu's this is not mandatory however. I would like to keep the system cost below $400 please no flames but real helpful posts. (This does not include the OS, keyboard, mouse and monitor). Don't know if this makes a diffrence i like to play world of warcraft and halo!
