I wouldn't recommend anything over those games, though. Just keep it really realistic. Because... if you had wanted to play games decently, you should just get a cheap laptop, and invest the rest into a kickass desktop setup.

Hmmm. You're right. Like I said, the one that I had before was used and only for $300 and I could play those games fine on decent settings. I got it from a friend has has a good hookup. Problem is that he's not always reliable when I need a new comptuer. It would suck if I pay $700 for something that isn't that much better than the one that I had before. I always wanted to build a really good desktop since everything is upgradable, but I don't want to invest in something that is stationary, since I like to have my computer everywhere I go. But thanks so much for your help guys, I really appreciate that you all took the time to help me out. I'll keep looking to see what I can find, but I'm probably going to stick with this one for now. Anyways, I'm going to try XP again and see if performance is better with that. I'll make a new partition and do a dual boot to compare.
