Depends on the cost of the system, and the budget... and it sounds to me as though the OP is working on his own system, and his budget approaches $1 as a limit.... I understand that all too well (though it's not an issue for me these days).
My current income is zero. I'm burning what little retirement money I have. Some expenses I find more annoying than others. A computer is rather important for a job search these days.
To the OP: is this a gaming machine, or just what you use? You mentioned $200 before install - I've seen refurbed entire desktops for $300.
No. I've never been into gaming. I've got a rather high-end video card because that was the only available AGP card available in a hurry.
The $200 comes from googling D865GBFL price.
$300 desktops? Where?
