An A1200 with either 4mb or 8mb in the trapdoor will suit your needs if it is only to be a games machine.

You can always 'downgrade' the A1200 back to an A500 using something along the lines of Relokick for those stubborn games that refuse to run on anything but the A500.

The A4000 is definitely going to be the budget buster no matter how you look at it.  But as tokyoracer said, it does have the AGA chipset built-in as standard and is the most powerful of the Amiga lineage.

One factor you also have to consider is space. If it's not at a premium then the A4000 is the one to go for.


*Addendum to my previous post*

Yes, WHDLoad should also be considered so a bigger hard drive and the possibility of an external CD-RM (to store the games on) should be factored into the price.
