New Gaming computer

   I'm looking for a gaming computer that can handle the Star Wars MMO at max settings.  I'm only looking to spend about $800 at most for the time being but will be looking to upgrade later.  This computer will also be used for movies and music.  Please let me know of a good build to maximize effectiveness and minimize the price up front.  I don't need speakers or a monitor, since I already have both.  Thanks!

	For $800 you're not gonna get a computer that'll run any MMOs on max settings, unless you have a tiny resolution... If you have parts you can scavenge from other computers, e.g. a video card or optical drive, you can drive the prices lower here, but the cheapest you're gonna get for a full system that can run SW at even medium settings is gonna hover just below $1000.
