I have yet to see a bundle better/cheaper than the individual components that the good folks here could pick you out

First of all: what sort of budget you are looking at for your gaming pc?

Are you planing to make one from the scratch or you got already some parts.

If you give more info, then we can tell of its better go for napkin stuff or better of getting different setup.

P.s those bundles are really crap...

Second one is ancient..

I know the 80gb is too small but maybe he could use it for a few months until the price of hard drives settle back to what they were pre floods and buy one then?
