So I'm about to get a new desktop and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on something that would last as a gaming machine. Trying to not break my bank account. Thanks in advance

How much are you willing to spend in your currency?
Are you able to build it yourself or do you want pre-built? What else is needed besides the tower? Monitor, keyboard/mouse and OS disc will cost extra.
What kind of games are you planning on playing?

A few details might help us to get you started, such as: Where are you from and how do much you have to spend?
Also have you considered building your own - buying parts is usually a cheaper alternative to buying it already made.

Edit: Haha beaten to it.
