The systems on those websites are way too expensive.  \n\nAsk a friend for a good custom configuration, buy the parts at www.pricewatch.com, and assemble it yourself.\n\nYou can save at least 30%.

This would definately be best for under $200:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130056 only problem is that it requires a 400W power supply, so you need to make sure that your power supply is big enough to handle it.  That info should be in the manual that came with your PC.  If you need further assistance, feel free to email me, it is in my profile.

Well building it yourself would be a good choice, other than that, I would say try here:http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ you should be able to configure something that will play games at high quality, maybe not the highest quality for only $1200, but still at high quality.  If you want further help on building your own, or on what parts to put into a prebuilt one, give me an email, it is in my profile.

There's no one answers to that question. What is important to you? When you say you don't need anything too fancy, obviously that means you're not out looking for a dual processor server. But it doesn't tell me much else.\n\nIf you're looking for something relatively inexpensive, but with reasonable support and service, there's always Dell. They've got a good lineup of options and you can basically design your own system online, and then order it.

agree with previous post but I dont think mixing and matching ram is such a good idea, your probably better off seeing what your motherboard supports and sticking with one type and make of ram.

All Dell computers are less expensive.  I don't think you should overlook its performance over price, but get a computer that can handle the task you choose to perform on it.  Try visiting a store just to inquire what you exactly need.  I paid a lot more for a home PC than i really needed.  All that bundled software and 1GB of memory, I'm sure I'll never really use as I use my laptop more.

Get a real fan.  The USB is nice, but not very practical unless you can put it near a window.  Plus, unless you drag your computer all over the house, you can't move the fan from room to room if need be.
