Wanted

What are you looking to buy?
Desktop Computer (PC) Item Description
Minimum specs looking for:
-Core 2 duo processor (2 ghz or above)
-Decent video card (9800GT optimal, 8800 would even be fine)
-Hard drive doesn't matter, I have a 300GB drive for it already
-DDR2 Memory
-1GB RAM is good (1.5 optimal)

These look like good requirements to me :P Price?
$250 approx.

gen. shadow, 250$ is going underpriced, but if it's older than 3,4 years, it's okay :p

Okay let's see what I got in about 10 minutes of searching newegg on each part.

Memory is Kingston, its 2 sticks each 512mb for dual channeling (dual channeling is much faster than just having 1 1gb stick)
It has the best rating for ram for 512mb x 2 and is compatible with mobo I'm about to post

Next we have a cpu + cpu cooler combo that I found cheap
Didn't check much on cpu cooler but cpu is 2.8ghz with your core 2 duo

The motherboard is a mini atx and it supports ram clocking 667 and 800, it supports a maximum of 4gb and it has 2 ram slots. it has 1 pata thingamajig and 4 sata 3gb/s, it also has onboard gpu (it sucks though), onboard lan and soundcard. it has one slot for a gpu (that'll work decent) and some pci slots for you know modems, soundcards, shit like that.

9600 gt with 512mb video mem (its a bit shitty i know, but you wanted this PC to be cheap.)

and final price is $244, this is without a hdd, a case, and a power supply.
also i'm willing to voice my opinion and say that with 1gb of ram you won't get shit done, i'll try to find you 2gb for on the cheap tomorrow, right now i plan togo to sleep.
