Looking for a new computer NEED help.

So, I've been getting into PC gaming recently and I need a new PC that can handle this (not to mention my old laptop bit the dust). My old computer really couldn't handle the graphics on simple games like WoW so I need some help knowing what I'm looking for and maybe where I can find it.I looking for a Desktop for about $600-$800. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

well it sounds like you dont know how to build a computer so i would buy a computer from

ibuypower.com

they r pretty good if not the best prebuilt seller that doesnt overcharge by to much

Thanks for the reply. But I'm at the website and honestly I don't know what I'm looking for.

If you go with iBuyPower's cheapest Core 2 base system ($529) and add 2gb of ram and change the video card to a GTX275, you'll have a really good system for ~$800.

EDIT: That is, customize their Core 2 system that starts at $529.

I built a computer back in Febuary for around $850... You might give it a shot if your up to the challenge. Parts should be cheaper now too, maybe $750?
