Perhaps. I opted out of monitor and speakers (probably pick up a Samsung 740B from Buy.com, and I just got some Bose Companion 2 speakers). Hopefully that is an estimate based on if you did get those things.

My new computer just arrived!Originally posted by Vince278
I got my new PC as well this week. Its a Gateway 2.8G dual core on a 975x Mo Board, 2GB of 667MHz RAM, GeForce 6600. Weighs 40lbs and just under $1300.
Now that I can actually play Civ4 I won't have to feel strange posting about it.

My computer arrived yesterday... SOOOOOO SWEET!
I can play CivIV with everything up to the highest levels. And the Call of Duty 2 demo looks top notch. Love it!
The only problem was with the monitor. Bought it at Circuit City, and it has a $70 rebate. But there was no UPC on the box :hmm:. Have to call CC and ask them what to do about this.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

How's the free T-shirt working so far?.
It looks pretty nice though. Wish it was all blue with a VelMicro logo on the side front, but there is a big picture on the back as well. Oh well.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I decided to to overspec the motherboard and PS, so there will be room for upgrades if that becomes necessary. The CPU looks underspeced compared to the rest of the system, but I was bottoming out budget wise, and it should be simple enough to upgrade to dual-core if the time comes.
