I don't get it, why you people give such expansive offers :bucky!: , yes they are too much for someone to play the games he listed ! He listed strategic games, but you gave him a pc that can run Doom 3 :Oo: why ? ? If the man doesn't want to spend a lot of money for something that he might not use (correct me if I'm wrong, you can play these games too and newer once if you want. but you said it's for your daughter)
Any way I would suggest:
Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
512 memory of Ram
*GeForce 4 TI 4200 with 64/128 Mb or a Radeon 9500 or a GeForce TI 4400 with 128 mb (these card's can be found in a very cheap price)
If you have a Hard drive of less then 40 G, then buy a new one (40 Gigabytes is enough)
You seem to have 17inc screen that is not a problem, but if you want a new, one you can get one cheep too.
That should run all the games you mentioned with no problem.
*if you want your pc to be able to run even greater things in the future , you might want to buy a Radeon 9600. However, that is only if you want to play more then these games in the future.

I see your point Grim Reaper, but remember, maybe he will play some rts game once a day like Dawn of War for example or the new LotR RTS, and with that,
your suggestion is completely crap. Plus it's always better to go with the medium parts nowadays than with
some medium parts back in the days (like the 4200 ti).
Plus I think the parts don't cost that much and he can buy a complete PC from a shop which is equal to some I suggested
for not too much money. You won't find any built PC which you can buy in a shop with parts you mentioned.
All in all, he can get a good gaming PC for less money plus it is not outdated, like the one you mentioned.
Also note, you have to buy a second hand pc with parts you listed or you have to buy the parts cheap
off of ebay and put it together by yourself. and as far as I unterstood, Mr. Suey 3b hasn't the knowledge to do this on his own.
