Thanks for all the help guys. The only problem with building is that I actually have to build it..... I have though come up with some computers from you and some I found, does anyone know which one is better??/
eMachines T3990
eMachines T6410
and the one here http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7874133&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01172&id=1149040474010
for that matter, are any of these any good or am I better off with something else? Thanks.

Stay away from eMachines.........a real pain of a system, plus their power supplies aren't worth a crap and definitely aren't made for upgrading anything inside that would require more juice. Try a Gateway if you're going with proprietary and cheap (under $1200 will get you as good as you want except for extreme gaming)...............................
It's okay if that is what you have to spend.......just find a Gateway/Compaq/HP for that or under and post here and let's look it over. Best buy, Staples, Office Depot and others have a lot on sale right now.............no eMachines, No Intel Celeron cpus, minimum 512MB memory...............
no problems.
i have a fast machine currently with an athlon proceesor, 1.5 gig ram, and 160 g hard drive. i love it. just upgraded my video card. can play call of duty 2. cnet rated my machine 2 years ago as an editor's choice with an 8.2.
in my book, e machines suites me and my wallet just fine.
