Since people in my last thread seemed not to bother at looking at the link i gave them i started this thread. Can any of you build me a gaming pc (that is also upgradable so i dont have to buy a new one every year) that can run half-life 2 and some other games really well for 1500 i would appreciate it.
Also can you build one for 1500 better than this:

That comp i just listed is also 1500 so im seeing if i can get a better deal by making one my self rather than buying the above dell gaming comp. It looks pretty impresive, DDR2, 3.6ghz on a 925Ex chipset.
P.S Why are AMD processors always slower than Intels, they are always like 2.2 ghz and 1.9 ghz where intel are like 3.2-3.6
Thakns alot guys.
