so my 14 year old dell desktop finally kicked the bucket a few weeks ago

and I'm in the market for another home computer. The wife and I both have laptops but dont bring them home often enough so i need something that i can get on the cheap but still offer me years of service. I wont be doing any heavy computing but it will be connected to my network, tv and reciever which controls the audio and video for my house.
So basically internet usage but with the ability to connect to my network and do some light computing. maybe a game or 2 if this mass exodus from the dirty console gamers to the master race continues...
Any help would be awesome...
$500?? to low?

This is the budget I requested yesterday! Set your budget wherever you want.

I think you can handle a media center pc with some firepower for that range.

Want to build and leave it alone for the life of the computer (as it appears you did the old dell) or do you want to further upgrade it down the road?
if its the former - I'd say an AMD APU build would be ideal in that price range.
if its the latter - we can go with a good base and an underpowered Video Card that can be changed out later.

Just admit that you want a gaming computer.
