How does this one sound. My price range is 1000 and I am going to use my current monitor for it.

It's minimal and decent... but you MUST get a graphics card. Integrated graphics and BF2 don't work pretty.

I know, but the only thing I don't like about it is that it's pci, and I have a 512mb agp that I was going to use for it If I can find the same computer with agp slots I would make me happier.

that PC has slow ram. Get at least 667 MHz. Also you will need a discrete gfx card. Games & Intel GMA is not a good combo. Build a PC yourself.

this is what it said Video Bus: PCI Express x16 I'm pretty sure that's for graphics cards.

If anyone can find me a good computer for 1000, with 2 gig memory and a 250 gig hard drive that I don't have to build I will karma. I also prefer one that has both agp/pci slots.

you wont be able to get a PC with AGP that has new tech. As far as I know only 1 mobo supports AGP & Core2Duos. Face it: AGP is a dead technology

No, please don't.

The motherboard will be terrible.
The PSU will be terrible.
The RAM will be/looks/is terrible.
The graphics card is...is..it's sin.

I don't know many American prebuild sites, but ask around you might be surprised.
