In our efforts to keep prices down, we’ve switched to the Gigabyte GM-M6800 Gaming Mouse and the Logitech K120 Keyboard. Both earn high marks from owners and can be had for a combined price of only $27.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium  64-bit 1-pack for System Builders
Current price: $100

And finally, we again chose Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit as our operating system. For an entry-level gaming system, this choice pretty much made itself.
