Good afternoon everyone,

I would like to ask the community for recommendations for a computer (appropriate for gaming & using MS Word/Excel 2003 or later version) that would meet the specs shown below. (I would prefer just purchasing a computer off the shelf (or even a used computer in decent condition) as opposed to building one). No monitor is needed.

Desired specifications:

- Price range: $200 - $1000

- Desktop model preferred
- Windows XP or Windows 7
- 40 - 100 GB hard drive
- 1 GB RAM
- 2.8 gHz or higher CPU
- Graphics card: 256 MB or higher memory

Thank you for your time and any recommendations!
Pete C.
