I guess ultimately my question is will my price range even get me something worth having?
Or am I going to have to spend more money than I'm willing to in order to get something that is fairly decent?
For the computer itself (Tower), you can make an excellent gaming PC for $700. Pre-built is going to use the exact components that you can buy for a cheaper price.
It all seems daunting at first, but when you really look at it, you're screwing the the mobo into your case, and plugging everything else into place. It's so much easier than it seems.
Read up on the different parts, components, peripherals. You'll be surprised at how quickly you learn everything and how much fun it becomes shopping for parts.
Enjoy the building process. Pretty soon, you'll treat it like your car and start to customize things, buy better parts, etc...

I have a computer tower that i used to use that has windows xp on it. I dont know the specs right now, it is a compaq. Should i have a start with my pc and just need to get some updated parts? Im in the same boat here. Looking to get a gaming cpu going.
