Your views really are outdated when you think that you need a $1500 PC to play games. Nowadays you can get a GOOD Gaming PC for only $400.
95% of PCs being sold are now under $1000, with most of them also under $750.
Today, $1000 will net you an EXCELLENT GAMING PC!!
My 2003 PC was almost able to play Starcraft 2, 2010's Biggest Game.
You should get yourself updated.

Please show me this magical PC build for $400 that I won't need to replace with a new $400 system in 12 to 18 months. Be sure to include a motherboard, memory, cpu, graphics card, audio card (although I will accept onboard audio), hard-drive, case, power-supply and licenced version of Windows. Show me benchmarks that will lead me to believe that this system will handle a game like Starwars: The Old Republic above minimum settings and above 800x600 when a guild decides to have a 100 man raid in the zone you're playing in.

id kind of recommend breaking the 400 limit a touch and uping the GPU a bit, otherwise this is a really decent system that will get you somewhere for a little while. only thing I cant give you here is the OS. But honestly an OS should live on one a system a few years with upgrades to the system over the years. Normal OS should live 4 - 5 years on a system before upgrading unless there is a massive benefit to upgrading OSs before at least a SP2 for the future OS (Windows 8).
