Hello. Im a complete noob at this pc gaming thing. More of a console player myself. After experiencing some PC games though I have definately become more interested. Im goin to be building a gaming desktop and was wondering if anyone had any advice. I was hoping to stay around the $600 range. I have been shopping at tigerdirect.com. Is there a better please to shop? I was going to go with an AMD 2.6 ghz processor and something around a 9500gt graphics card. I may just end up snatching someone else set up if that is easier lol. Thanks for your time!
