What do you need to do with your computer?

You can check out the pricelist at hardwarezone.com.sg too.

HD: 80GB
Floppy: Floppy drives are redundant actually
Processor Speed: 2.6 Ghz

You should be able to get it for around $600-$700 without monitor and the other peripherals.

What kind of games you are playing?

Graphics intensive games requires a good machine with large memory + a decent graphics card.

Maple Story and GB dun need V powerful graphics cards to render.. but if u intend to play CS:Source with "not bad" fps... to me.. an ATI 9600XT is the bare minimum... and if u wanna play HL2 or Far Cry types.. well... all i can say is... 1gb ram is NEEDED.. and graphics card... more powerful the merrier..
