Help me Pick a Computer out.

I want a decent gaming computer. I want something that won't lag on me when I'm into a frag-fest.
Since I have no clue how to build one myself (probably would be cheaper that way.), I need your help to see if this is a good deal or not.

well im sure someone else is gonna say this, but building a pc isn't that tough man. also, when i got an older machine i built from new egg, it came with instructions. it will be much cheaper abd much more efficient to build your own, my only real 2 cents. especially when u get into upper gaming systems. way cheaper when u build ur own

In a ball-park range how much would building a good gaming pc cost; built from scratch?

Well, I wanted to play WoW and some other MMO's. Along with some good FPS's.
I was thinking somewhere in the $700 range. Is that feasible?

The above is a VERY good deal. I would just upgrade to (2) 250 Gig SATA drives for an extra $135.
You can't build one piecemeal that nice for less.

If you're building it from scratch, i think you might be able to do something worthwhile with $700.
I'll look around newegg when i get some time and see what I can find, suposing no one hooks you up with a good system first. a lil busy atm tho

Oh, only $700... You're gonna have to go AMD for that.

I'll probably just buy some more ram at the moment for my computer. Should help out the lag issue.
I just have one of the basic Dell Dimensions. It was a good deal awhile back, but its only 1.8 ghz. It gets the job done, but I just want something I can really play around with.
