    New Desktop Computer?

    So to start off, my other forum site got shut down so i made a new account real quick to get an answer. Okay now that were past that, all i want really is a new desktop computer for me and my gaming. (Mostly games like Rift, Runescape, and WoW.) At the moment my computer is downstairs, along with my family which can get very annoying. I want to buy a computer for my own room. All i want is a pretty reliable computer. Maybe something around, 4GB RAM, 500+ hard drive, duel processor ( I dont know if a quad would be better) and all around $300-$400. I know this is a lot to ask for but, i already have a 22" monitor and a Radeon 5680 HD graphics card in my computer at the moment which i can transfer over. So thats all if you have any questions, ask away! Thanks if you gius can help.*

    to be honest your great just going to bestbuy , walmart, or any electronic store in your area and getting a BASE 64 bit windows 7 machine. Its going to do everything you need it to do with plenty of ram and decent graphics. Most desktops are just so dirt cheap you can't pass it up

    Most inexpensive desktops at retail stores have terrible integrated graphics.

    i thought of the same thing at first, which is why i recommended a 64 bit machine as they have more ram, faster cpu's, and tend to have more upgraded graphics. They cost a bit more then a normal 32 bit machine, but lets face it desktops these days are dirtcheap, and you can buy a badass graphics card with awesome features and cooling for under $150. But he mentioned he has a gfx card so he can swap it over

    Just because the computer has 64 bit windows installed, it does not mean it is faster or better in any way.. I don't understand what you mean.

    At OP: I would advise building your own computer. Having the graphics card already is handy as it will take off a lot of the cost. MSN me or something if you want help picking out parts.

    Still need to add a case but here's a rough build. I'm sure someone else can build something better, however I didn't know what CPU to downgrade to.
