The Ideal Gaming Computer

[Keikan]

I only got like 1500 bucks for a computer and i'm gonna play games and stuff, what is your opinion on what i should get??? MY local vendor is http://www.iccomputers.ca

I'd check out ABS computer technologies at ABS PC's. They've got some nice computers at decent prices. I'm sure you could get a nice gaming system from them for under $1500.

The thing is, that its best to shop around. I find it best to buy certain things from certain sites, and other things from others

Well, obviously you're gonna require a great graphics card. I'd say 256MB RAM is the thing to have now and is included with Radeon 9800s and GeForce FX 5600s. I think a P4 2.8GHz+ will do fine and with possibly 1GB of RAM. An ideal HDD is required for the ever-growing space that games consume and therefore I'd say a 180-200GB HDD will suit you greatly.

Get an ATi 9800 Over Fx ALL THE WAY!!!!!

Check the benchmarks!

Yes, Radeon > Geforce

Indeed, but I wouldnt recommeded the 256MB one, unless you just feel like over spending.

the extra 128 really isnt even used in any of todays games, but I guess Alot of the new ones will start to take advantage of it.
