hi, my dad an existing system which is an old gateway with p4 at 2.4, 160 gig ide hd, geforce 4, and 3/4 of a gig of ram. Lately it has started to lag and at 4 years I think it is time to replace (believe me its a hardware problem) He uses it for home use (no gaming) and wants to spend as little money as possible to get a good system. The cd drives and case will most likely be kept.
