Hello, I'm just looking for a little advice on what to look for when purchasing a PC. I would like to purchase a new one and I really want to get more bang for my buck so to speak. I don't know whats a decent amount of of space and memory or whats a decent processor to have. I know I would like a PC that's good for gaming. Mainly I would like a pretty fast PC with good memory and one that has a good media center and I won't have problems hooking a router up to or anything else for that matter. I'm looking to spend about $500.00. Can I get something decent for that price? Suggestions?

could u expound a little more on the types of games that you aim to play on the PC? are you talking about high performance games (Crysis, Dirt, etc.) or online games (LOTRO, WoW, etc.)?

the usage of the PC is the main criteria that will affect all the other specs
