What is the average price to build your own gaming computer? Is it possible to do it for under $900?

Q. I'm really not looking for anything that close to the bleeding edge. I just want to know how the range I'll be in if I'm looking to build a computer that can run things like Dragon Age and WoW without much of a problem. All I'm looking for in my computer is decent gaming performance.

PS. I'm a first-timer at this so any helpful sites would be greatly appreciated.

A. $900 can get you a pretty powerful computer, one that can max out almost any game today.

Look at this $1000 PC ($900 without OS).

That's good enough to max out any game for the next couple of years at least.

Here is a $800 build that would max out all of todays games.

A. Dell makes some really great gaming computers in the Alienware brand. You can compare specs on those what you want to build.
