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.)

what ever you do, for your video card buy a PCI-Express card,,,way cheaper than AGP and way BETTER.

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

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.

P.S: Holy @&#%!!! eek

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...

With AMD/GeForce's specs it would be. Who really needs two nvidia 6800's?

'eh, it all depends on if you want it "good" and "overkill" and an overpriced piece of [censored] or if you'd like it "good" and "overkill" yet "affordable" wink

16x pci-express slots are better than 8x AGP.
