Hey would this be a good computer for gaming if I put a nvidia 8800 in it? And would a 8800 fit? Thanks.ps Im on a budget.

I doubt that an 8800 would fit into it -- it's a mini case and also usually store-bought PCs have a power supply that's just barely enough to run what came pre-installed so sticking in some monster power hog like an 8800 probably wouldn't work. If you can spend $700+$300 you can build a very decent PC yourself that would be better than that.

Yeah, hey, go to Newegg and just price your own stuff out. Store bought PCs are t3h suk.

For $2,210 (no tax), you can get a BFG 680i SLi mother board, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz E6700, OCZ 2GB Platinum RAM, 2 BFG 8800GTS 640MB OC2 cards, OCZ GamerXtreme 700Watt PSU, Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Xtreme sound card, and a Western Digital 500GB 7,500 RPM hard drive.

That would be worth the price too, because if you bought that from someplace like Alienware or Dell, then it would cost in the upwards of $4,000-$5,000 dollars.

Yeah, that 8800 is gigantic (11" long, woah), it would never fit. Sorry dude.

Lol, dude, buy a custom computer. They are better and cheaper, You chose your own parts.

If he knew how to customize a computer himself, he probably wouldn't ask for help here, don't you think ?

Tell ya what, make a custom pc Point.Negative. If you dont know how to build one, both myself and many others will help you. Honest to god, its a piece o' piss - think of it like a high-tech (and expensive) jigsaw puzzle. It will mean you can get what you want, and cheaper too.
