I still have not found the answer I am looking form. I want a some-what cheap gaming desktop around the 0 range. I will be playing games like WoW and Crysis. I don’t know anything about computers, so building one is out of the question. I just need someone to suggest a computer that can run the games I like on high detail settigns, and run smoothly with no lag.
I found a computer for 0, and the guy says it runs Crysis at the highest settings. Here’s the specs can someone tell me if it’s a good deal?
Custom Full-Tower Case
Phenom II 940 Quad-Core Black Edition @ 3.0Ghz stock
Asus M4A79 Deluxe AM3/AM2 Motherboard
4 GB OCZ Fatal1ty DDR2 Memory @ 1066Mhz
Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 OC Edition @ 900Mhz Core Clock (The fastest single ATi card out…for now)
Western Digital Caviar Black 650 GB 32 MB Cache
Corsair HX650 Watt Power Supply (Voted best power supply by PC magazine)
Windows XP 64-Bit Professional Service Pack 3
LG DVD Burner
Linksys Wireless Card (802 something or other)
Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
I have no idea what any of that means. But anyways, if that’s not a good computer or deal, can someone suggest a pre-assembled computer. I was also looking at the Alienware Aurora, but idk if that’s a good computer either.

Hello.
The Setup is good for gaming. For 750 Dollars, its a good deal.
Although there are a couple Problems.
First is the Operating System.
The Windows XP 64-Bit (very buggy-very Problematic) I suggest you get Vista Home Premium or Ultimate 64-Bit, and then upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit in October (for Free).
Second is make sure you have adequate Cooling (Have some extra Fans, or Invest in a Cooler Master Haf 932 Case/Chasis) for the PC. ATI’s 4890 tend to generate plenty of heat and since its an OverClocked Edition it will generate more heat than a normal 4980 HD.
Overall, very good Gaming Desktop, and for 750 Dollars, its a STEAL!
Hope that Helps.

That is a great deal for $750. It will certainly run your games…
