[Solved] Budget gaming PC - $400

Budget - $400

Uses - Wow while multitasking video, internet, etc on the other monitor

Parts not needed - case (antec 900), psu (585w enermax), monitor (26"hd + 19"lcd) keyboard/mouse, os

Watercooling/Overclocking: Not immediately, but if the parts I buy support it I may down the road.

I'm currently using an Nvidia Geforece 7600GT 256 mb video card, 2gb PC3200 ram, a 2.1GHz pentium 4 chip on an Asus A32N-SLI motherboard, so just about anything you can buy will be an upgrade.

I'd like to buy a new HDD, but that would be separate from the $400 budget.

I've spent a bunch of time researching an i7 build, so I know what's out there that is not EOL ... my financial situation may have changed and in case it has, I'd like to see what I can get with a considerably tighter budget.

Please advise a CPU, MoBo, GPU and RAM configuration that I can get all four components for a total of only $400... i know this if very limiting, but I want to see what I can get, and from my current components anything is an upgrade.

Thats a free Mobo!!!! It might be time to try and sell a kidney. I might just be able to make it happen.

This GPU is cheaper after rebeate and 1gb. Might help if you're running dual monitors.

Wow, the gutted all the mobo/cpu combos. This happens a couple times a year and you'll see those same type of combos repopulate in the next week or so. If you can wait, do.
