Oh, I see. Yea, now that I searched on google, you're right. Go along with the above poster's advice, and make your own, it's easier than you think if you make sure that you choose parts that work with each other. Most cases even come with some instructions.

My computer used to be ibuypower. It had a 2.2GHz single core AMD processor, 512 MB RAM and a 6800XT. Oh and a 400w psu. Was good, then the 6800XT crapped on me.

I'm not too great at finding parts for budget PCs, but it's always cheaper to assemble it yourself. My $2000 computer would have been $5000 from manufacturers.

I tried to build my own, but keep going over $400.

If you can find a prebuilt for $400, you can get parts for less. Let me see what I can do for you.
Alright, I couldn't do it for $400, but I got this for $500:
