cpu chip - get the cheapest core 2 duo or pentiums 4 / D which are on sale throughout this year $100-$300
mobo - anything that works with cpu's above $50-$300
decent Geforce gpu - from geforce FX 5xxx, geforce 6xxx, geforce 7xxx, $50-$600
memory - DDR2 of course - 512MB-2GB - $50-250/each
monitor - anything capable of 1024 or above - $60-$thousands depends on size and model
power supply/case/mouse/keyboard/speaker/table/chair - $20-$150
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Recommend
cpu - core 2 duo = 305
mobo - asus = 80
gpu - geforce 7600 = 180
memory - 1GB = 90
monitor - used 17" or 19" = 50
extras = 100
----------------------------------------------
this is the cheapest pc setup that can fully play (30-60FPS) all games until 2006 or early 2007.

Thanks for the infoDuo core is in dispute. Frankly, I find Dual Cores to be a waste of money. Of the two CPUs, only one is actually used. The other one is a backup incase the first one fails. This means that your system will rarely freeze, but one has to wonder if thats worth another 200 dollars.
Your better off with a 2.4 Ghz single processor.
BullSh*T !!
dual core processors dont have an extra core incase the first one fails
that is insane.
dual cores, are processors with 2 cores, basically 2 brains instead of 1
however this doesnt mean that a dual core 2 ghz = a single core 4ghz
in the near future programmes will start using both cores and all the 1's and 0's will be processed alot faster
this means that your pc will work alot faster..
and also games, (when developers start coding for dual core's )
the games will run smoother and stuff
i cant explain it good
but i know this much
a dual core isnt a processor with a spare core incase one fails
their both used equally
its like saying a massive lorry has 18 wheels incase one of them punctures

Jesus people. Forgive me if i'm not one to jump headfirst into the "latest and greatest". Just so you know, newer technology is not necessarily better technology.
well it is, for the information of the misleaded too, multi core cpu's are praktical for people like me that uses the PC as a multipurpose appliance, eg movies, music, gaming, ne, etc. multi core cpu are multi times faster in encoding of videos/music and everything on dektop processing because windows uses ALL cores hence FASTER. and gaming are now supporting more cores. my recommendation is just a little pricey but it can sure run games released on 2007 with some gfx tweaking eg medium detail instead of high which doesnt take much fun out of a game. try playing supreme commander.
qft...... prepare for lagfest with single core on supcom. intel and AMD are pushing the multi-core platform to the games developers and they are slowly, but surely, adopting support for them.
