Ok, I know there are 100 threads on "what pc should I build".. I've gone back and read through quite a few of them.. but I've been out of the computer loop for so long that I don't know how to go back and piece together what I need between the budget pc's for internet and the $1200 (budget) pc's for gaming. I'm looking for something in between.

Budget: MAX $800 (looking for around 6-700 if possible) tower only
Used for: Light gaming (not looking to get into play mw2 online but I would like to be able to maybe just run it at a playable rate.. maybe..

The big thing is I don't care if it can't run the new games that have not come out yet but I do want to be able to upgrade it in the future when I have more money to through around to be able to run those games.

And I don't want to have to overclock as I have no idea how to do that.. I used to be a big PC gamer years ago and knew everything about building a pc but have gotten more into the xbox360 in the past couple years and everything is new now.

All your help would be greatly appreciated.
