Here is my position. I want a PC that I will be able to do basic word processing and be able to play new games such as battlefield 2 etc. I have looked around and tried to decide on certain components and parts. Here is what I have so far and I would appreciate if someone could go through and make sure (1)all of the components will be compatible with each other (2)See if there is any upgrades for around 50-100 dollars that would make a large difference in power. (3)tell if there is any downgrades that would not sacrifice power but cost less money. I would appreciate if someone could give me a hand and give some imput.
