Utterly Mad

Okay, what kind of a budget are you looking at? I will try to get a build for you for under a 1000$ default.

EDIT:

This build will run new releases too, and probably will for another 3-4 years, at least. Most likely longer if you can handle toning down the gfx.
You can slap an SSD on there for an extra 50-100$ to install an OS on, if you want to. (The build doesnt include the cost of the OS, mind you.)
