I'm 16 and have a job, so as long as it's not really expensive, I don't think money will be an issue.

I just want one for my room that is good for getting on the internet and playing WOW.

Any suggestions would be great.

whats your budget

EDIT: oh ok you posted your budget, 1k umm, if your buying it id say go somehting like dell, i geuss dell would be the best for that amount, but if you build you could probably get a decent setup, i say build it man, and if you dunno how to put the parts together, most places you can pay em like 40 bucks and they will do it for you

Well I build my own so I'm not really an expert on buying an entire PC, but from what I

understand CyberpowerPC is an ok company, you can get on their site and play around with

their custom build configurator, http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Ultra_SLI_GT/

Something like that is under $1000.

Hmmmm. Does it have to use Vista? Or can I use XP on it, because I'm using XP on this one and I like it.

There are cheaper alternatives than Dell, the PC I linked in my earlier

post is $1079, and is more powerful than the Dells discussed here, plus it

has a 5 star rating out of over 100 reviews. I'm not dissing Dell really

but If I was going to buy a pre-built PC for gaming, it probably would

not be from Dell.
