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.)

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 [censored] out to you is well worth the $10 you could save shopping anywhere else. Donate to UGN Security here.
