Would it be more cost effective to build my own computer with an amd 64 to equivalent t6410 specs, or just pay for a 400w PS to help the added-on PCIE 6600gt or so video card? damasta55r, are you out there?
Thanks.

Well go to newegg.com and price out a similar system.
With e-machines an upgraded PS is allwise a good idea.
It may still cost a little more to build your own but you will have a better PC when your done. John
I have seen several post where some members will buy an budget PC( $300~500) then spend $200~300 on upgrading video card, memory and PS to get the PC they want, end up spending $500~700 . To my way of thinking it would have been easer just to do it right in the first place. John
