I want a Gaming PC

The thing is, you can get one for $500.  However, it would be a waste of time, since you would have to completely overhaul it in a year or two, since you will be buying an already obsolete machine.

I don't care if it's obsolete. I don't want some ?ber gaming PC. I just want something to run Fallout3 smoothly on the lowest posibble settings.

do you guys even read the thread? I've already provided a link for a comp for under 500 dollars which is certainly not obsolete and won't be even close for at least 2 years.

i think you are being a little too generous. It may run ultra high with that in some parts, but if you are outside you'd be getting below 15 FPS, which while technically "running" is not exactly "playable"

Nope, those specs that I gave are from my own system. I know that they're right.
