Basically high RAM, a good gfx card, and a fast processor is all you need

50+ u dunt need much, its a gaming comp, i only use 11 GB.

thats not all u need... u need a good motherboard to support ur fast processor.. also... compatibility... like if your going with a AMD processor.. u would need to go with a ati gfx card... b/c ati was more built for amd 64 bit processing... intel is more for nvida... also another thing that make or breaks a fast gaming comp is software.. if ur software doesnt flow with ur hardware... ur comp will not be good... i suggest buying a comp from www.alienware.com ... they have the best software engineers on this planet right now... no lie... there comps run faster than ANY comp u could ever build

Dual Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz
2GB ECC DDR-SDRAM

^ Stuff like that ^

for storage... get 2 10k RPM 72 gig raptors and set them in a raid-0 config (SATA Drives of course)

processor: AMD 64
GFX CARD: WAIT!!! omg wait... if you wait half a year when PCi-express comes out you'll get a LOT better graphics card for your money. especially since they up'd the architecture to like 16 gb transfer both ways (me thinks).

mobo... same thing, wait for pci-express

and yes, definately run compatable software!

-.-. I know all of that is ill and all, ut I am trying to keep the overall price to a minum and please use newegg, I could get a discount, hehehehehe.

ok, graphics card: ATI RADEON 9800 XT
sound card: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 (DON'T GET ZS, ZS is more expensive with more crap then you will ever need...)

 

[CuStOm-OwNaGe]

well... if u think u can afford pci express then more power to ya thats 8 gigs of pci 4 up and 4 down ... but it will cost ya a pretty penny... but it ur goinging with that go ahead and get a hardass ethernet card and gfx card... but even with this i guarantee that alientwares comps will out preform urs... no doubt...

 

[l33t bunny master]

well this is my comp and it works wonders for gaming

-Athlon 2700 motherboard with 2700ghz processor.
-2 sticks of 512mb DDR
-Radeon 9800pro
-120 and a 40 gb hard drive
-and windows 2000
-and soon I'll be getting a 19" flat computer screen.
-i use AVG for VIruses, SpyBot search and Destroy to get rid of spyware, and ZoneAlarm Firewall.

all combined this makes me a sweetass gaming comp

Has anyone noticed on some websites, I don't know if it's on all of them or not, that there are amd 64 processors with like 1600 bus speeds, and the best motherboard on the site only suppports like 800? It's so dumb, they make bundles of motherboards and CPUs and RAM (one that I saw anyway) and the motherboard doesn't even allow the RAM and CPU to operate to their full potential.

if u plan to spend over 1000 bux on a gaming comp... like
l33t bunny master did... i really suggest alienware... there comps just do not compare to ANYONE... except a mac... but thats a different convo

 

[l33t bunny master]

the best thing about my comp tho is that i put it all together myself so its got all the stuff in it that i wanted.

 

[Sly]

im gonna learn how to build computers this summer. saves money.

how much do u save if u build it urself?

 

[Guest]

You save quite a bit if you know where to shop around.

 

[l33t bunny master]

i saved round 300-400 buying my own shit and making it myself.

 

[CuStOm-OwNaGe]

well it depends on wut ur gonna use the comp for... if ur build a comp for like work or just the internet or something then ya it would be cheaper... but if ur build a hardcore gaming comp... then it would be best to go with professional... b/c they offer u stuff that u can get anywhere else...

the best thing about my comp tho is that i put it all together myself so its got all the stuff in it that i wanted.

but getting all the stuff u want dont mean its all compatible with each other... i guarantee that the cheapest aleinware comp will out preform ur comp... no problem
