What do you already have as far as parts?

If you have some stuff, like a hard drive, optical drive, case, keyboard, mouse, whatever from an older computer, you can reuse them.

A CPU, motherboard, RAM, and probably power supply most likely cannot be reused due to be outdated.

Re: Help on building a gameing computer.

with only $250-350 you could build a system that would run most of the new games, but don't expect to be playing on anything above low settings....also as trotter said, what do you have already? are you wanting a full build? or just an upgrade?

HP Pavilion a475c Desktop PC 
I got that with 2 gigs of ram (max), a GeForce 7600GS DDR2 512MB AGP, and a pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz.

Well, you have a mATX case, an optical drive, and a 160GB IDE hard drive. That's something to start with, anyway.
