What would be a good gaming computer?
0
[size=12]Hello FAKKU community. I am looking for a good gaming computer, but i would like other peoples input. I am not looking for a laptop at all. So far i have looked at alienware, but alot of you FAKKU members have had alot more experience at this than i have.
Please help [/h]
EDIT: Also i would like to see computers that are not overpriced for their performance.
Also, i am not at all press for time to know this information, I am planing on getting it after Christmas.

See the manufacturers.
Lots of manufacturers didn't put the spec,but they told that the computer's spec is high .
Maybe you can have HP desktop computers .
It's a good one for all things,like gaming,or maybe for editing graphics .

I suggest building your own. Get you a bitchin-nice case, Geforce GTX 260 216 core, i7 920 processor, i7 motherboard with 6 ram slots, fill 3 of those slots with 2 giggers, 600W+ power supply and then a bigass sata harddrive and install 64-bit windows 7 on it (search for the RC1). I suggest using Newegg.com to find the parts. All of those should be on the value side of performace. There is definitely better stuff but I'm expecting you to only have ~$1000.

"not overpriced for performance"
Build your own. Don't be daunted by the fact that you're building it by yourself, it's nowhere near as hard as it seems.

Yeah .
The cheapest way to buy a computer is to make it by your own .
If you can't,just buy the standard one and modify it .

Building a comp is the cheapest way to go. It isn't that hard. If you have installed rams and reformat your comp before, you pretty much covered a lot of the stuff. There is also a lot of websites that have tutorials on what is needed and how to put them together. Just take your time and double check your work and you should be fine.
The problem with buying a standard comp and the modify it is that a lot of times the comp is built to the bare minimum of what it is. A lot of times the mobo can't handle more rams, sata ports, sli or Xfire and etc. The psu usually around 300-350w (400 if your lucky) and that wouldn't be able to handle a high end graphic card. Unless you buy a nice standard comp to begin with, usually you are limited on what you can upgrade with and also it be more expensive then just building it to begin with.
Check out this site, www.cyberpowerpc.com . They have pre-configured comps at a lot of price range and you can also add/change parts to your comp build. They don't make their own parts like dell and hp, they basically just put together comps and sell them.
Hopefully this helps on your decision.

www.newegg.com
best site ever. their customer service is awesome. most of their stuff has free shipping and you won't find cheaper prices anywhere.

Agreed, newegg has one of the best prices and a lot of items do have free shipping. Also try www.frys.com , they have stores everywhere(which is useful when you need cables and such) and once in awhile they have good sales. If their isn't a frys near you, find a local computer store. You never know when you might need misc parts.
If you are interested in doing case mods, try out www.xoxide.com .

What's your budget range?
Edit: Actually never mind, prices will have changed too much by next year to say anything. But good sites are places like newegg, tigerdirect, or even ebay (microsoft cashback anyone?). Local stores like Fry's are good, keep a lookout for sales; they have some great ones sometimes.
