The computer must not go over $700 including any kind of shipping. I need an OS. No monitor or peripherals. It is primarily for gaming.

don't want to say this a bad option but why go with the Athlon there is not a whole lot of upgrade ability in that series.

I really like this for the price. I would make my own list of I wasn't on my phone... although probably would end up with a clone of this.

I would always go with Intel for the CPU. You have more upgradability down

the road. AMD's CPU department seems to be dead at the moment. ;)
