Hit up ebay, and look there. I upgraded my comp for about $500. Went from and AMD 1700+ with a GeForce 5200 and 512MB RAM to a P4 3.2, GeForce 6600 GT and 1gig of RAM.

e-bay will be your best bet. You can enter competitions if you have your lucky rabbit's foot or 4-leaf clover with ya, but i wouldn't put my bets on it.

What are your current specs?
