TOTAL PRICE AROUND 553


553 for everything including wireless router and a usb adapter to hook to your computer for internet from the router

i had to downgrade the video card to a 9600xt this would still probably be able to play age of empires 3 on low to med settings, and bf2 on low settings. this is probably the best computer you can build for under 580 dollars with a wirelss router and usb adapter
