Build your own. For 750$, you could make a really nice XP system with a
9800 Pro.

or worst comes to worst buy the parts and most local comp shops charge 80 bucks, since it takes less then an hour to assemble.

Where can I buy parts for a PC that will work together good? I really do not want to spend over 600$.

What about this deal?

Celerons are other-name processors that didn't quite make the cut so they
become re-labelled and underclocked so as to be stable. They work fine for
what they do, but don't try to do number crunching or overclocking with it...

Would it be ok for playing games though?

Put it this way, when I build systems for people, the price usually comes to around 700.00 without the monitor. Now this system usually includes:

P4 3.0 ghz or AMD equivelant
Asus/Abit motherboard with built-in audio and LAN card, SATA AGP 8x etc..
512MB DDR400 RAM such as Geil or Kingston
120GB 8mb cache HD or 10k SATA Raptor drive plus IDE equivelant
ATI 9800 pro (used to be 9600 pro before the price drop)
NEC 8x DVD-R/DVD+R
Average Case with decent power supply

Now that doesn't include labor, but you get the point. You can get a better system for that kind of money.
