all we need is:

My fee for suggestion services is $450. So if you wanna pay then I can build you a $50 machine.

If you can grab the $250 desktop deal at the AMD Tech Tour, that gives you an AMD64 3200+ CPU, Asus A8N-E mobo, and WinX64 Pro.

Then you get the $250 X800XL PCI-E video card from Monarch.

mid to upper-range gaming system for budget price.

edit: sorry, forgot links.

edit: crap, forgot to include ram in the price...

um, the Corsair Value Select linked above is only 80 bucks, so that's not a bad idea...

meh, at least you have the options.

Kriz's suggestion looks nice. 1GB corsair Value Select, and an X800XL.
