New System help?

[Keaton056]

Ok, so I've decided to update to a new System. I've been running on an old Dell XPS 410 for quite a while now (few upgrades). And after the latest BC2 came out and I wasn't able to run it, I got upset. So I'm on a slight budget. Anyone know of a nice Barebones kit system for around $400 dollars that would run up to date games and possibly be updated for the future? Or could someone build a system for around $350-$450, and post the link for me.


Any input at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Keaton

Wow, should be able to get at least medium settings out of that, maybe high in some if the res is super low.
