Dell is a very nice company in you plan on buying a computer for everyday use, however they aren't decent gaming computers (disregarding their Alienware lineup, which are almost as overpriced as Macs).

The computer I'm trying to replace is actually a dell dimension 4600 with a nvidia gefore 5200 video card and a processor clocked at 2.8 ghz.  Its a great model but the thing is it's 2+ years old and not up to running cod 5.

Lol, my PC is nearing four years old and can run everything on high just fine :D but I want DirectX10 so I will have to upgrade sooner or later. X1900 all the way baby

Check out those sites I mentioned!

Link, one more time I would like to advocate for building your own computer. The first PC i ever owned I built, and its really not that difficult.  The most difficult part is designing.  And I have no doubt that there are several people on this forum who would be willing to help you. I certainly would, from what I've seen keenmike builds a pretty sweet little rig, and red is a maniacle, borderline obsessive computer builder. And these are but three in many, many members.  But for some, building just isn't there thing and I must accept that.  From personal IT experience, dells are great if you work with a hundred and fifty identical imaged and hardwared machines.  But on the one on one scale: not that great.  This is why i would not recommend buying one as your upgrade.  (You have one now, and if you can't upgrade it to viability, what does that say about dell?)

i personaly lowered my full size atx motherboard in to a tight case with 1/16 of an inch room to spare. i wanted to get as much out of the exchanges from the overly priced parts they sold me. i lowered the thing with the cpu and fan all together assembled. i originaly had a plan to buy this but got talked out of it. i dont think it to hard to

I agree, its very easy to install a cpu, and every other part.  I don't quite get your small case thing (could be a space thing?) But again, whatever works for you.

Ok, how bout since looking for a computer has been driving me nuts, Ill look around and see how much it would be to build it.  Any help would be appreciated since I have no idea what Im getting myself into.

OMG, i gotta say alienware is the only computer on earth for home use that is more overpriced than mac. and im sure that the only reason i still support mac is because i didnt m=pay for my computer :P
