Title says it all. I'm looking for a mid-end pc that gun run games like Gary's mod, Killing floor, and maybe Battlefield 3 on low.

what's your budget?
Do you mind building it? (Building is the best option, and it's really not hard, i'm 13 and I built one in about an hour)

i recommend building one, i just got done with my 1st build the only issue i had was the power switch cables but as soon as i read the manual for my motherboard it was easy, you can build one for like $500 for the stuff you want depending on the looks and stuff you put in it

Instead of the stallion, go for the HIVE: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Changed a few things.

Mobo, Case, PSU, Video Card, HDD, and gave him a Z77 Mobo as it was a bargain.

You only needed 450 W for a PSU so I got a XFX as it is a good brand as well and HIVEs dont com in 450W.

The Motherboard has more features than a H77 board and it was a good price so it was perfect.

I gave you that case to save 20 dollars and the HDD was just from a benchmark I saw on tom's hardware a while back. (Still can't find it again but I'll try to find it)
