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!
 
first, what type of ram ddr or ddr2, that will determine what type of system

case w/psu $95.00
video card $149.99AR

for a ddr2 system:
cpu $109.99
mobo $77.99
total: $432.97

for a ddr system:
cpu $105.99
mobo 69.99
total: $420.97

this was just a quick search, look around and you can probably find these components cheaper...

edit: or you could leave the video card out and use the onboard until you save up some money to get a better one
 
MSI has mail in rebates for the X800 which makes it 70 bucks...not a bad GPU for Wow but not the greatest either.
 
I was wondering is this any good? i really havn't looked at the mobo so idk if it has intergrated video if i does not then....i won't buy it! I decided i would save up 300 us for a new video card!
