A 3GHZ cpu will be beat by a 1.86Ghz CPU by a wide margin, do some research, and get a core 2 duo system.

As finest said i would get a e6300. It would be helpful if you state what you will be using the comp for to help us better determine what components would be needed. For casual use, only 1 g of ddr2 would probably be necessary, for gaming, to gigs would be good. As far as a video card, once again depending on what you are doing, anything from a 7600-7900 or an x1600-1950 would be good. For light gaming and use, i would say an x1800 or nvidia 7600. For heavy gaming an x1900-1950 or a 7900 would be good. That, and a mid range 975x core 2 duo supported mobo should total up to under $1000. Also 20 gigs is waaay to small a hard-drive, no matter what you are doing. I would recommend very minimum an 80 gig, and even that is cutting it nowadays considering some games are running close to 30 gigs.

System:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor

GIGABYTE GA-965P-S3 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

pqi POWER Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory

eVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO Video Card - Retail

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

LITE-ON 18X DVD±R Burner Black IDE Model LH-18A1P-185 - OEM (two)

Rosewill R5604-TBK ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN, 450W Power Supply - Retail

That's $918 in my cart.

Replace the Core2 with a 3.3ghz Celeron and you could shave off $150.

Stay away from Dell and it's brother Alienware because they are a piece of crap machines you can build x999999 times better and still save about $1000

It's up to you... Buy a crap machine for exspensive or gain computer knowledge, get a awesome system you designed and can show off to people and save money...

Personaly I would go to this

https://www.techspot.com/article/25-affordable-am2-gaming-system/

Build a $700 computer

Change to the following parts:
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817341002

Videocard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150150

DVD-drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152076

Hard drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140

End Price: About $900-1000 ( rounded without shipping ) but if your budget is only $1000 you can always save up a few dollars and pay the rest

The Mobo / RAM is good, Just make sure the case you are getting can fit your mobo. Meaning if you get a Micro ATX motherboard you do not get a case that only supports ATX because the motherboard wont fit, When you check out the motherboard linked in the guide look at the system specs and it will say something like "Form Factor: ATX" that means you get a ATX full tower case but if it says "Form Factor: MicroATX or MATX" get a case that supports MicroATX

Hope I helped
