You'll probably be wanting a video card and a keyboard as well.

Dells are only good if you want something that you'll be doing work with. If you actually want to play any games that require a powerful system, you'll spend so much money adding better things to it that it would have been cheaper to build your own from the start.

And it's kind of hard to suggest something without any price range. Anyone can list all the highest quality parts, but it's not a whole lot of help if your price range doesn't extend beyond about $900.

comodore 64
is teh best i swear

nah but seriously if you dont know much about computers go to a store and ask them to build one for you its much easier

[SyntheticTacos]

I heard that Commodore 64s are some pretty fast gaming machines AND they've gone down in price! :D

Really though, since Macs can run both Windows and OS X, they're good for security AND for gaming.

But if you really want a machine that's just built to game and only game, you're probably gonna want to get a custom-built PC... those can be pretty insane from what I heard.

But really, OS X is good, you should try it.. you don't have to worry about malware and it's pretty! <3

Do we REALLY need another "good computer" thread!?

Sheeeiittt, if you wanna get a good computer, just get anything that costs more than $4000 dollars, and has "8800GTX SLI" written in the specifications somewhere, it doesn't even have to be SLI.

[psycho-squirrel]

i would guess a costomized computer.
i hear alien ware is good for gaming.

though i dont trust computers, i just know they have a mind of their own, why else would they break down for no apparent reason?

best way to fix a computer and get a new one at the same time is to put the bad computer on a chain and put that chain to the back of your car, and drive to the computer store.

If you have to even ask that question, you probably shouldn't be putting a computer together in the first place.

If you are really going to build a PC you will probably have to determine what parts you are going to skimp on and what parts you want performance on. I mean, without a budget everyone is just going to tell you to get the most expensive shit out there. So, there is no real way of getting any useful advice from your post.

Also, Hows life in the ghetto?

AHHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA XD

A computer that runs fast i a good computer to me and one that can hold a lot of stuff you need a serious computer for a serious gamer

[Snake-Arsenic]

Fuck speed if you can get over 50fps you want performance. For instance the Playstation 3 clock speed isn't as fast as my computer but when comes to performance its a god when compared.

[Akula]

If you don't mind spending 24.500 dollars on a video card...well then I guess you could get this.

[Snake-Arsenic]

or you could get a geforce 8800 they're about the mid-range price and pretty good

[Metalix]

In my opinion, a really good computer is:
A Belinea 102035W 20.1'' Monitor,
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Processor,
Mouse A4Tech X750F,
Keyboard Logitech G11,
2x Corsair DDR2-800 RAM Memory,
Asus P5B Deluxe Motherboard,
DVD RW: 20x LiteON
GeForce 8800 GTS video card,
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.
2x 400GB Hitachi hard disks,
2x 74GB WB Raptor hard disks, (couldn't find a picture)
And a combined floppy and memory card reader. :)

All of this, costs about $4500.

Not so shabby, huh?

That's a great computer, I'd change to a quad core and add another geforce 8800 if you have enough money for a beast

[sirbobsalot2]

I've got a dell XPS 600 with a 19 inch monitor It's quite good and never lags even when I've been playing all day.
