ghost_recon Junior Member Registered: 01/08/05 Posts: 1 Loc: Iowa	I am a huge computer gamer, I love to play them. The computer i have now is to slow to handle everything I put into it. I have been saving money for a long time to get a new (custom) one. What are the best computers, or computer parts I can get. (Keep in mind, I'll be using this computer mostly for games.)

Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	Get yourself an AGP graphics card with either GForce or Radeon chipset with at least 128mb ram (NewEgg has a decent 256mb one for under $100). I'd go with at minimum an 80GB hard disk at 7200RPM (if you're serious about gaming then NOTHING under 7200RPM!). Ram, at least a gig; processor, at least a 2.0ghz or equivelant (Myself I prefer the AMD Athlon 3200 and above). Newegg will have the cheaper prices 90% of the time; plus the rate that they get shit out to you is well worth the $10 you could save shopping anywhere else. _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.

KillHour UGN Member Registered: 04/15/05 Posts: 247 Loc: Tonawanda, NY	Well, yeah, most $2000-$3000 freaks of nature ARE really good at gaming, but most people don't have enough money for one SLI compatable graphics card, let alone two.

Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Proc = ~$200 Soyo KT880 Dragon 2 Mobo = ~$80 ATI Radeon 9600 256MB = ~$90 All you have to worry about is a case and ram then a hard disk... I don't see that as 3 grand; unless you where to buy it from a company preassembled... _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.

KillHour UGN Member Registered: 04/15/05 Posts: 247 Loc: Tonawanda, NY	With AMD/GeForce's specs it would be. Who really needs two nvidia 6800's? _________________________ "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area." -UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer

Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	'eh, it all depends on if you want it "good" and "overkill" and an overpriced piece of shit or if you'd like it "good" and "overkill" yet "affordable" _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.
