Your being a little vague.. What kind of system do you want? AMD, Intel?
What kind of games do you play?

well i was vague , because i dont know ... "they" say AMD i better for games and INTEL is better for the rest.....

so far i´ve had no complaints from my AMD PC...

but since this PC will have a different primary user (my brother) ... and he uses 3ds max , photoshop etc. at work ... he wants a pc which will be reliable to work at home as well (to him hardware stuff is from a different planet- he knows his software and that is it...)
he just got Call of duty 2 and on my pc the grafics are low...
