I think that this is a great configuration based on the things I do with my computer. Ya want to know;) ?? Well, I pretty much surf the net, download music and videos, play games occasionally (eg: Pokerstars, lingo, yahoospades, etc.) Maybe in the future, I might play something like warcraft. However, as of now, the previous games I listed is what I usually play. I just want a fast computer that I would not have to replace in years to come. Right now, I am working with a gateway 2002 with 1.2 ghz of speed and 256mb of ram. Don't you think it's time for an upgrade? I do. What do you guys think?:D
 
Are you willing to build yourself? That build is HIGHLY overpriced. Oh, and if you want the "best", $1300 isn't going to come close to covering it. If you want the "best", be prepared to spend at least $3000 if not more.

This got moved to the normal Hardware/Software section. I'd post up there, 63083. Mods need to close this please so there's no confusion...
