Is it possible to build a decent computer for gaming for say on or around $500. A few friends and I are having a x-mas exchange with a max spend of $500. The person I'm buying for is huge in to computer gaming but always bitches his computer won't play the newest games. Anyway I don't even know where to start with this as I know nothing about part compatability etc. I know certain types of mother boards require certain types of components etc. but don't know which etc. I was looking on price watch but have no idea if I get mother board "x" what type of componets will or wont work with it etc.

So is this even possible around that budget to build a game comp , just the box no monitor, that will play most of the newer games reasonably well or should I just buy him a fruit cake. :D
