Hey, i wanted to know what sites or info you guys have on making a good gaming computer. i ask some people and they just get an alienware comp. but i want to make my own computer. i want to experience it so i can finally get into all this stuff. there is soo much though. so i was just wondering where a noob like me could start off learning and making my own super computer for gaming! please list all website you know that would be helpful and very informative. i've been doing my own research and there is just so much out there and so much i don't know and some of these sites already expect me to know some things that i don't know. it's going ot be a long but i want to learn this stuff already. thanks in advance and hopefully will see you one day in a game and kill you =P

You can spend even more (3000$+) for the true ultimate in gaming by choosing to go with nvidia SLI system wich will have 2 video cards running at the same time. What are you willing to spend? Oops i forgot to add keyboard and mouse : ) Have the lambs stopped crying Clarice?

wow...thats expensive, i thought building a computer was cheaper?! O.o

it is cheaper, custom build just picked the best of the best. thats all. Asus A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 ATI 9800 Pro AMD Barton 2500+ 1024 PC3200 Ram 120gig Maxtor HD Audigy 2

One URL... http://www.ebuyer.com. You can build yourself a half decent comp for less than £800 but don't expect a miracle. This will probably get you: A good motherboard, a 256MB X800 XL Graphics card, Athlon 3000+ Processor, 1GB of PC2700 RAM (2x512, a 200GB SATA drive, a DVD-RW that will write most formats, a 19" TFT monitor with 16ms response. This comes to around £740 so just add on a case, mouse/keyboard and some speakers and your away! Matt
