Bought a new PC few days ago. Heck, it was about damn time i did that.
The old machine was slowly falling apart. It was giving me a headache, especially when i needed some work done, and it just refused to work.
Now i'm able to play orange box games, but since i got back to my dorm, i can't play them online. (Ports are blocked)
Although i was able to play TF2 for a few hours, just before going to sleep and moving here. (Sadly Dauby's server was down)

Here are the specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3,16 Ghz
4 GB DDRII 800
500 GB HDD
Gigabyte 9600GT 512 MB

Old specs:
AMD Athlon XP 1600+ (1,4Ghz)
512 MB RAM (DDR 400)
160 GB HDD
GeForce FX 5200 (At first, but it died like half a year ago, so i used a GeForce 2 MX 400 until now)

Nice one, graphics card isn't the ebst but it's a good one if you don't use high screen resolutions. So nice PC.

Runs all orange box games on maximum settings and 1280x1024 resolution flawlessly.

Sounds like you really needed the upgrade.
Have fun.

I have a 19" monitor, so i run on 1280x1024.
It cost me 634 euro.

Get a bigger, widescreen monitor.
Wait, 634 Euro? OMG! You should have bought a bigger monitor for the same price.

You got ripped off, sir.

These were the answers for 2 different questions. Phrased it wrong.
I just bought the box (how do you call it) itself. I had everything else.
As for the monitor, i bought it a year or so ago and payed about 200 euro.

I payed 220 ? for a 1680 x 1050 on January

Then you REALLY got ripped off.

I paid about 220 Euro for a 1680x1050 22" 16:10 monitor in February.

As for now, i'm fine with 19". I don't really need any bigger.
