Can i build/buy a fast gaming computer for under $800?

Q. I want to get a gaming computer but my budget is at around $800!! I was wondering, can i get a fast reliable gaming computer for under 800 dollars and still get high FPS and no lag and will i be able to run any game? If so could someone give me some links or some advice where to shop and what to do??

Also i already have a big monitor and a keyboard and mouse!!

A. Yes you can. but don't expect to go to far from 800. Prolly around 600 to 700.

Now if you knew how to build a pc 'd direct you to sites like newegg.com. tigerdirect.com. micropc.com.

But I'm guessing you havn't before. And I say this because while it's not hard, alot of shit can go wrong and you get to spend the time sometimes troubleshooting it.

So i'm thinking a builders site is for you. The one I like to use is http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Xtreme_1000/ Subsiquently that's a build I ran over quickly. Though you can tweak it for your liking. Because it's labor day they have alot sales going on. SO, spend a day running through that place and see what ya come up with.

Granted I still say home built would be cheaper and better if you have the tinkering skills.
