If your looking for the best of the best for gaming CPUs (and have enough money to spare) i reccomend http://www.alienware.com/

def cant afford those, i was thinking more of HP or Gateway, but i dont want VISTA

I've never had a problem with dell and their site lets you build the computer to see how much it will cost. My adivice is to go to the dell website and build your ideal computer, then decide where you can cut back to fit your budget

althats wut i did with this 1, unfortunately VISTA was released yesterday so i cant get a computer without it now

then how about this:
Compaq Presario Media Center

this is the one i own and i really like it.
It has a great graphics card and it can handle almost anything you want it to do.

and its only 609.99 (is that a low enough price?)
