Im not into building one so i would like everybodys opnion. I just play simple games like MLB or flight simulator. I do a lot of DVD and Cd backups. I dont need a monitor (for now so thats not an issue. also who is dependable to buy from? Thanks in advance

Are you saying you don't want to build one? Or you don't know how?

If you're only gonna spend 700 then there isn't really a point in building a whole computer. That eMachines sounds pretty nice. If it's 500 with a printer and moniter then it's probably only 400 alone. Buy that alone then add some ram and get a better video card.

If you are only going to spend $700... It depends. Because if you have a moniter/keyboard/mouse/speakers/dvd drives that you are happy with... I could build a kick ass machine for $700.

My drives are good, and if I did have to replace them the cost is cheep now. other then the e machine what is out there ? and from who. And if I was to build it what would I need? and from who? I have never built one before. Thanks

These computers (16 Total) are not the best of the best deals out there, but for built computers, using good components and the Manufacturer testing them perfectly... This site is pretty decent.
Basic (Home) Desktops

The Intel/AMD Thunder Value and Lite would work nicely for you. Or even one of there more upgraded ones. You said you still have good drives, well customize one of these machines and drop the price you save from the compoenents you have.
But if you are willing to build you own you should DEFINATELY go to newegg.com
