ooler Master Case with dust filters- Case has lots of room for upgrades!
*New* Geforce gtx 240 1gb graphics card
*New* 4 GB RAM
160 GB Hard drive
200 watt power supply
AMD 64 dual-core processor +4000, 2.11 ghz
Windows XP home edition

Graphics card and memory are less than 1 year old. XP was installed to better run Final Fantasy Online but the system will run windows 7 with no problems.


I will be puting windows 7 on it and the cost is 300$ with a 19" lcd display and keyboard.

The PSU wattage, Processor clock speed, and HDD are a bit too low-end to see any real gaming experience in your future. I would go with the second build that you posted, but try looking for something without integrated graphics.

If you're just using this as a home computer, yes. Let's hope you have no intentions of playing newer games at todays resolutions. Most people have replaced their 260's, never-mind a single 240. There is no room for upgrades due to the PSU/MOBO.

In that case, save up a few more hundred and build a PC. That's a $300 paper-weight. You get what you pay for.
