Shopping for a new PC

To be honest I know to little about computers to make a good decision on what to buy.

My current computer specs that I have been running for the last 6 years are
AMD-K7 Processor
192 RAM
Voodoo3
9GB total storage

So I think it may be time to upgrade.
Not really into gaming given my specs, just tribes. I would like something good for gaming atleast though. I don't really want to spend over $800 either.

So far:

(FX400S)

Seemed like a good deal to me, but if someone could help me find a good PC that would be great.

Gaming = AMD.


Are you willing to build it yourself, or are you only looking at prebuild configs?

Preferably something prebuilt.

This (http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/cart/showcart.asp?url=/system/CFGA64PCIE.asp,,v__d&ref=add) is the best config I could throw together just now for around $800 from that site (click the little +), but it's not all that great, especially with having to buy a keyboard, mouse etc.


You'd be better off finding an online shop that lets you buy anything you want, then puts it together and checks if everything works.

I've heard good things about CyberPower.

Well, mainly what I use my computer for is music, videos, tribes, and browsing sites. I don't really need anything for gaming other than tribes.

So, something with a cd and dvd burner and 160gb would be sufficient.

Then you don't need a new PC. :P
