Actually, the "gaming pc" is really nothing more than a computer that has the ablility to play 3d games like Unreal, Doom, etc. Doesn't have to have the best to be a gaming machine, just good enough to run the game smooth.
Things like 3Ghz type or faster (not very important, but helps alittle bit), 2gb of memory, harddrive large enough to hold what you need. Some can use 20gb hd to 300gb hd, according what you save/load. Video card is the important part, Closer to the higher end is the choice. SLI only comes into play when playing at a very high resolution (like 2048 by 1600). Typically most play at around 1024 by 768-enough for one video card to handle.
For guides and benchmarks goto www.tomshardware. They have info about this and can help give you a clearer picture.

it is going to play the latest video games, yet maximum of them will artwork sluggish on intense settings. Why? Celeron isn't the gaming cpu sequence. Get an i3,i5 intel cpu, or a Phenom quad middle from AMD.
