what you need to understand is this....

Core2Duo and Pentium D are completely different. the Core2Duo is the one you want the Pentium D sucks comparatively

if you only need a cpu and mobo get an e4500 and a s775 mobo that will support quad core if you want to upgrade to that later

I would but I still use them all lol sorry.. You can build a computer 350 you just need to know what to look for. I gtg but if you want later I can post a list hardware that you can buy put to together yourself.. btw it's not AMD's fault that emachine computers are shittie. If I were you I would go check out some pawn shops you might find something that you can use and you can almost always haggle down the price.

there is an nvidia 8600gt in the misc FS section for $50/obo, that is a good deal for that card and that would get you started. i can hook you up with a decent c2d cpu for about $100 probably. 2gb ram would be about $45 i think

i was looking at that card for my brother. he needs a agp card.not pci. u would put the computer together and i would put the card in.pm with how we would do this. i can put it together my self. more or less i was looking for some sites. other then newegg and ebay. thanks

newegg is always a safe bet when buying new, i dont use ebay for anything, it is useless to me

i can get nice discounts on used components. a cpu is a cpu, it eaither works or doesnt so buying used is a pretty good idea

since you will only be doing light gaming either of those will work with a mid level video card
