Q. My parents just got a imac and were planning on getting rid of their old e-machine about 3 or 4 years old. I decided id take it and try and build it into a mediocre gaming computer, do i have a chance here or should i just save up for a new cpu, i plan on slowly adding to it not spending like $700 and be done in a day or 2
A. First of all a CPU (Central processing Unit) is your computer's processor and you cannot make it into anything.
Also Macs where never built for gaming as most games are for PC only.
As far as upgrading an old eMachines desktop into a gaming computer, you will not be able to do much.
Most likely both the CPU (processor) and graphics are low end and would need replaced, which in turn would mean replacing the motherboard and even the RAM and power supply, so you are just building a new computer in an old eMachines case...

Looking into building a Gaming computer. Could I have some suggestions and an estimated ballpark for price?

$714 after rebate delivered, unless you change the power supply to the CX600 to bring it to $700
Most should not collect tax and delivery should be shown at included

The core i3 is a gaming tier 2
Got the graphics up to HD 7850
The lower wattage CPU (55W) and moderate wattage graphics (130 watt) plus fans and drives allowing 60 watts, means 245 watts on 12V, and 30% buffer is 318 watt target or 26.5A on a single rail.
CX600 with 3 year warranty has 46A available
The XFX with 5 year warranty and solid state capacitors is 44A
It is possible to knock a few dollars off the motherboard using a B75 one.
An Intel build allows later upgrade into an i5.
The Phenom I saw in the other build is power hungry and has no better gaming than the i3.
I chose a decent computer case, but there are others with at least 2 fans (intake+exhaust) and USB 3.0 and 2.0 on the front panel and is spacious inside.
