I have always built my own PC's, but this time I decided to go with a pre-built machine and customize it a little bit. I was looking for a good performer at a fairly low price.
With that said, I ordered a HP Pavilion m8200n. It has an AMD X2 6000+, 3gb ram, 500gb drive, TV tuner, etc. I got it for $669. It comes with a weak video card, so I purchased a 8800GT 512mb card for $250 and a beefier power supply to power it.
So, how well does the 6000+ processor handle games? I know everyone loves the new Intel chips, but this setup was at a decent price.
