I posted threads earlier about RAM and graphics cards and other crap. Well I realized theres just too many flaws, so i'm getting a new one.
I'm looking for suggestions. Here are a few things I want:
1-2 gb of RAM
reg. mouse reg. keyboard.
a decent (not as expensive) AMD processor with PCI-E or agp 8x
and decent grahpics and sound. (getting a new graphics card anyway)
50-100gb hard drive.
and no other accesroies
AND in the range of 500-1,000 dollars
Thanks
Comment back please

for $100 you will have no problem building a good system.
RAM: OCZ, Corsair or Crucial Technologies
something like a 667 or 800
I can not reccoment a processor or motherboard as i do not use AMD, I bought an MSI motherboard.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...&SubCategory=22
Graphics card: PCI-E XFX GeForce 7600GT 256 or above
Sound card may not be needed if you get a motherboard with a good on board Hi Def. audio like my MSI. You would only need it if you wanted really high end sound because my on board 8 channel HD audio sounds great through a surround system.
Mouse & keyboard is more a personal choice. I like logitec products.
Hard drive i would go much bigger than 100GB seeing that you can get a 250GB Western digital or Seagate at Newegg.com for about $80-$90
Case: Gigabyte Posiedon-Black (for ATX motherboards)
Power supply: Enermax 620 watts
I bought all my parts at Newegg.com, they are a great store with really good prices. The motherboard will be your most important choice. Check them out really closely to make sure it has everything you want. I really would not spend under $100 on one as it is the most important part you will buy for your new system.

Oh and Krkm it looks like a good deal with all the parts but the only problem is I'm really not good enough to put all this into a empty system, if there was a way to put this all in to a computer and order it tell me and i'll look in to it.

it seems good but it would be cheaper to build it your self
but if u dont want do build it that one sounds good
if i where you i would choose the next one down the 256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache-E521 for the video card tho
also windows home edition sucks i recammend windows xp professional i had home edition it was slow asap i bought xp pro

Here's the thing though, if I could get a computer that came with the battery the proccessor already in it I probably would buy parts seperate.

oh, well I looked it up and I didn't get that many good reviews I just don't know if it's worth the money. I was gonna get like a good 250 dollar won in the summer though but I think the intergrated is allright for now, still havne't ordered anything yet so keep giving ideas.

Yes, although I don't see where you're pricing this from... Go with the 3800 x2.

I just looked it up actually and it said it is like if you had 512 mb of RAM, 2 DIMMS would be two RAM pieces of 256 MB each and 1 DIMMS would be 1 RAM piece of 512 mb.
