I suggest building a custom gaming computer, you get better specs and save lots of money. It's not very hard if you know what are you doing.

Can a $700 gaming computer run 2011 games and below?

I was gonna go to my local PC shop and try to set up a computer for $700 bucks, for pure gaming. I was wondering what year of games I would be able to run with a $700 computer built specifically for gaming.

Answer
Depends if you want to play on maxed settings or if you are ok with running low or med settings.

$700 you can run 2011 games but most likely on low.

Monitor ~ $100
Windows 7 ~ $90
Mobo ~ $75
CPU ~ $150
Hard Drive ~ $50
PSU ~ $50
GPU ~ $100
Memory ~ $50
Case ~ $50
Tax ~ $75


This is approximate values for low-end parts. $700 won't get you very far with a gaming computer. I suggest investing at least $1000. Also I suggest ordering from Newegg.com than going to a computer store such as Microcenter. Can find the same parts for cheaper and free shipping. Good luck on your build.

How much would it cost to build a decent gaming computer in 2011?

I've been really wanting to build a gaming computer, but I'm not the most tech-savvy person on earth. I know I can probably do it for $1k, but I'd also like to know what components I should buy in the first place to build a pretty good gaming computer.
I already have a pretty good monitor, mouse, speakers, keyboard, etc. All I have to worry about is the tower.

Answer
I would say around $800 - $1000.
You can get an AMD Phenom Quad Core for around $150. You can get a Hexa core processor, if you want to be really upgrade proof. But that usually costs a lot more than the quad.
Motherboards typically cost $150 - 200. (Be sure to get a mobo that is compatible with the processor)
A decent video card that will run current games will cost you $150 - 200. I recommend the NVIDIA GTX 560.
RAM (depending on how much you want) will typically cost you $60 - 120. 6GB DDR3 is recommended.
Power Supplies will be around $60 - 100. I recommend Corsair Power Supplies, they also have a Gaming Series for gaming computers.
Case would be around $50 - 80.
Windows will cost you $100 or more.
A Hard Drive will be around $100. 7200rpm recommended. You can go for a solid state hard drive just for backups, they are around $120.
So yeah, around $900.
In the end, you will be saving LOTS of money instead of buying an Alienware.
