$315 ultra low budget gaming system

[trekker1004]

I already have a hard drive and a copy of Windows XP/Vista. I am not a hard core gamer. I play games like Half-Life 2, BioShock, Peggle, etc.. It will replace a system with an Nvidia 7300GT video card, so it will be a large improvement.

Other than the PSU, everything is good. It's impossible to get a quality psu for $40 before rebate. This is the closest best thing.
