I haven't really read this whole thing over yet, but I think this article could help you out http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...aming_pc_2005/

It's about building a gaming PC for $600 (I think that converts to what you said you wanted to spend).
I'm using the article on that site about building a gaming PC for $1000 as a guide for the system I'm building now, and it seems pretty good.

Hope that helps.

componets. look on google to find some good components for a pc.

or look on the manufacturers site....

if you're gonna play halo 2 far cry etc... i think maybe the price for some of those specs will be higher... much higher... unless you want not so fast performance.
