Well, I am not opposed to building, as I have built about three systems in the past (last one about four years ago, so much has changed), but trying to keep my budget around $500. What I would like to have is this:

2.8 Ghz or higher (3.0 Ghz preferably) dual core CPU
4 GB RAM
GeForce 9600 GT or better VID Card w/ 1 G of memory
Win XP OS
DVD burner

As for monitors, KB and mouse, I have all of that. Just need the meat of the matter.

Not really much to ask for, and I have found some pre-built towers for around my budget price, but they are missing at least one of the components I am looking for. Primarily the OS. I have scoured the ebays, amazons, neweggs, etc. but finding it hard to meet my desires.

If you have any suggestions, by all means please share. Very much appreciated.
