Need Budget Gaming Rid Advice

I've been out of the PC market for so long that I do not know what is out there. I tried to do some research, but there is just too much. I could use some suggestions for a budget PC upgrade - Motherboard, RAM, CPU, Video card. I know I want it to be Intel based. Sorry to you AMD folks.

Thanks!

    I highly reccomend reading this new article on Ars Technica. (New as in a couple days ago).

    Also, the Help & Advice forum has a very nice computer thread that's worth hitting.

    For the record, Intel is absolutely the way to go from a price/performance ratio right now.

    If you are on a college student's budget (like me) you might need to get creative.

    Fry's Electronics is clearing out their GQ line of computers. I've seen them selling for as low as $150 after rebates. You can overclock the processor, add a $100 video card and a stick of RAM and get a functional low-mid range gaming computer for less than $300. It won't be the fastest pc on the block but it would get you through 2007.
