...aim for an $800 budget if you JUST need the tower and the innards. If you need peripherals, like keyboard, mouse, monitor speakers etc., aim for a $1200 budget.

Fill out this info, but like I said, you're prolly looking at more like $800 for a decent rig.

Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs):
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):
