I want a PC only to play games on with a lot of memory and speed. What should I look for in a computer?

Question

I am looking to buy a in-expensive PC for home to play games on only. I need a lot of memory and speed for the games. What do you recommend?

Answer 1

Go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready. Vista is going to make all of these "bargain" computers that you can buy at Wal-Mart, Circuit City, etc. JUNK when it is released in January.

I bought a complete, new system from them with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.

I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.

They had a system that was designed from the ground up to be a high end graphics/gaming system (their XW9300 series) for less than $800. You can't beat that.

Good luck!

Answer 2

LOTS of ram 2 or 3 gigabytes and a VERY good video card with at least 512 MB memory (such as a 7600 GT) processor speed does not have much of an impact on frame rates as the video card does most of the work.
as for inexpensive you are out of luck if you want to run todays games at max settings and with high frame rates a very good video card can cost between $500-$1000 (ive seen some cards as much as $1200-1400)

www.cyberpowerpc.com.
if you trust your knowlege in choices then go there, they'll build it for you. just throw in about a gig of ram (two if you want some real power), a decent processor (the best right now is intel's Core 2 Duo), and a graphics card (7900gs seems to be the best bang for the buck, but there are better and there are cheaper if it's a bit too pricey for you).

Answer 4

dualcore athlon .... 2 gigs ddr2 ....raid-capable mobo ...about a 7900-7950 nvidia card .... sli would even be better if you can find a bargain but dont sli anything less than a 7900 or its a waste of money ... two 7300s' in sli wont beat a single 7900 im saying ..
