I would have a small shop build you a computer instead of going to Best Buy or other ripoff place, you're basically paying for their storefront.

Do you have a hard disk already? Keyboard/mouse? Do you need a monitor? Have you ever built a computer before? If you can build it yourself you might save a few bucks but small shops can really build cheaper than a do-it-yourself thing. I'll post what I would suggest when it comes to parts in an hour with items from newegg.

What other games...

What other games you going to play? A 7600GT will do good, much better than a 7100 series nVidia card. Consider that most games are not GPU-hogs except the Shooters.

I had a SLI system that tore up WoW, dual 7600GS but a 7600GT will let you crank up the settings, it's not a very demanding game graphics-wise.

A 3000+ AMD will tear it up for anything, you might consider even getting a 3800+ AM2 chip. I suggest an nVidia-base bus chip also, like the nForce series.

If you have any questions about anything just message me.

Every 3D game is a GPU hog. Oblivion isn't a shooter, Company of Heroes isn't a shooter. Supreme Commander isn't a shooter.

And Athlon 64 3000+ won't "tear it up." Core 2's put even the fastest A64s to shame.

Just change that 7100GS and get a 7600GT That would be a cool system
