Reply:go to dell.com and start building it up and when you get the computer install it as suggest in the YouTube Video Below and you will never ever be sorry at all
Reply:Read some of the reviews at http://www.tomshardware.com/ to get an idea of what components are good. I'd suggest buying parts from someplace like tigerdirect.com or newegg.com and seeing which has the best deals.

2)case and psu


3)memory


4)hard drive(s)


5)graphic card(s)


6)optical drive(s)

Reply:Ok dude there is a pc gamer mag with like 7 pages devoted to this, with the costs of the pc components and how the gaming would be rated etc. go find
Reply:You want an intel based motherboard, socket LGA775 as that supports both core 2 duos and core 2 quads and thus will last a very long time. for gaming i still suggest the duos they a very value for money but are in no way rubbish





2 Gig of ram corsair and crucial are very good brands or anything other than kingston, DDR2 is very cheap now





3. graphics cards u should look at either the 8800 gt or 8800 gts


(only get ones with 512meg of video memory) these cards are priced at mid range but offer killer performance the GTS is a bit more expensive but the Gt has problems with over heating.





4. Get a large case (full tower) if you're new to building computers having the space makes everything easier to fit in





find a guide about actuall building
Reply:well fr building a gaming pc u need a very fast processor


it depends on the qmount u can spend too


well if u want really expensive and gud one here it is


ty to get a quad core processor


motherboard of ASUS preferably


put a ram of 2gb or 4gb


as far as games or concerned u need a good video card or graphic card


nvidia 8 series would be better


get the vista and most importantly directx 10


it will also act as media center


also buy a tv tuner card and use it
Reply:DELL INSPIRON or ANY DELL
