Well,My girlfriend and them have a really old comptuer that freezes on them,they reformated it and everything but its just old i guess(pretty damn old)Well they asked me to look around and see but i dont really know anything about computers all that much. But if any of you guys can put something together like everything. There price they wanna stay is 1500$ nothing more then that. Be great if someone can come up with some stuff for me. They will be doing gaming on it. So any suggestions then?

What kinda gaming?
Whats included in that budget (case/psu/cpu/mobo/tax/shipping/etc)?
What size monitor do they have or plan on getting?
What else do they use the system for besides gaming/surfing?
Will they be overclocking?

Here's something to start with...

$235 - Chimei 22" LCD ($30MIR)
$270 - 8800GTS 320MB ($20MIR)
$195 - Intel Core2Duo E6750
$90 - Abit IP35-E ($20MIR)
$63 - A-Data 2GB DDR2-800 ($10MIR)
$80 - Seagate 7200.10 320GB
$70 - Enhance 5150GH
$50 - Cooler Master Centurion 532/534
$35 - SATA DVDRW
==========
$1090 + tax and shipping - $80MIR

Add in whatever other peripherals you need (KB/Mouse). You could even bump the CPU up to a Q6600.

Either you or one of "them" will have to start learning about computer parts to get this system built. Otherwise, just get a Dell. Read this thread... I know it looks long, just skim it: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1217870

Ok, I'm confused.....either a) you do know about computers but don't want to research the newer parts b/c you're a lazy bastich or b) you really don't know about computers in this case you should just buy a dell and get a warranty on it........if you can't even come up with what parts to get how the hell are you going to build it?

A very, very good point indeed.

Though, a Dell isn't a bad idea if you aren't tech savvy, lol.
