CPU: $150 Intel Core2 Duo E4400 2.0GHz

Case: $50 Apevia Black/Black X-Plorer ATX Mid-Tower Case
Power Supply: $50 Ultra X-Finity 500-Watt
Video Card: $200 BFG GeForce 7950 GT 512MB (get cheaper if you want)
If you already have a hard drive, DVD drive, and monitor thats all you need so only $610. You could always get better but that is an awesome cost effective computer.
Awesome, thanks for the info. I already have a video card planned, but everything else seems good. Thanks, man.

The 2.0 Ghz, is that how many Ghz it does PERIOD or what does that mean? I heard from another post that 3-4Ghz is what I need... But I have no idea... I'm new to all of this

Edit: Quote didn't work, but I think you'll get my point...

UT 2K7 Requirements suggest 3-4 Ghz... Randomly googled Computer game requirments, got Unreal Tournament
