Answer 1

try this, it is even better
(only if u can overclock)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
680i motherboard
1 8800GTX (728mb, not 512mb)
2gb RAM (any ram u want)
Pc Power and Cooling 750watt Silencer

Answer 2

If you have the confidence, build your own. If not, get the knowledge and then build it. I built a 2000$+ (Depending where you buy things) for around $800. Prior to that I owned a brand new computer that was easily 3x worse then the one I built, and it cost me $1700.

Athlon 4600 x2 64bit am2 socket

2 gigs of ram

2 Nvidia Geforce 7800 512mb pci-e (Originally I had one, just recently added the second one.)

800 watt enermax psu

You could use a single 7800 or 7600 pci-e or agp Geforce and 500 watt psu for a little less.

To get a good gaming computer from someone, it costs like $2500, I mean for a good one. For an ok one your looking at $1200. But, from my experience, I can basically half the price by building it myself. You don't have to pay 30 people to build it.

And, you don't need duel processors for a good gaming computer. Basically the duel processors are slower unless you are running multiple things. Like, a single 3.4 p4 ht runs faster then a duel 2.4. Plus, a single core processor will be cheaper. Also, Id go for AMD if you want a gaming computer. They work better then intel for gaming, and, they are generally cheaper. Also, they have a higher FSB, and with a good processor, you'll have a really fast computer. Intel has about a 1066fsb, and amd has 2000fsb. The only problem is, if you get cheaper processor, your computer will actually be slower cause the fsb is too big for the processor. The only real problem with Amd is they run alot hotter, so you need a good cooling system.

That one is a $1,299 gaming computer. Its a good one for the price.

Oh, another thing I just thought of. You don't have to have a 512mb graphics card, a 6800 512mb is nothing compared to the 7800 256mb. It just depends on the motherboard, the PSu, the Card itself. Some motherboards work better with Nvidia then with ATI cause there configured for it.

But, its alot to learn and if you want to have no problem, Alienware is probably your best bet for a prebuilt computer.

Answer 3

IMO the best bang for the buck dollar wise for a high quality gaming machine for a pre-built if you can DIY is the Velocity Micro Gamer Edge.

Answer 4

It used to be Alienware but I believe that Dell's dual core just surpassed Alienware's for performance and pricing.

Answer 5

I have an Alienware. Best five grand I've ever spent. Good Luck

Answer 6

Its alienware but they are way more than $1000!

So if you want one go with the new Dell XPS is your best bet.
