If I were yopu, I would go with an AMD Athlon... Do they make them any more? I dunno... AMD Sempron i thing thay have now...
Or an AMD Athlon64, thats 64bit! Anyway, a good computer to run games smoothley? I would say something like: 2Ghz CPU 512Mb RAM 120Gb HHD That should run most games smoothley, even a big game like the sims 2! |

The Dell XPS Gen 4 System
-kind of starts at $1699 (in the US) but it's very good -for unmatched performance in the desktop arena, get the Pentium® 4 Processor w/ HT Tech Extreme Edition sure it's at 3.46GHz, but it has a 1066 FSB, which means that it's [virtually] 1.25x faster than a standard computer with the same speed. It's probably going to be faster than that because the whole system is tuned for it. About an xtra $750. -costs about $3500 if you get all the good stuff. So if you have the money, there's no better in the desktop arena that's standard. |

I would either get something like this. Or save for a while and get an even higher model. It's a complete desktop; so that performance rating really is at a good price. Alienware's are great for gaming, and plus you get a awsome looking case. lol

hmmm
well, i would usually say custom build it yourself... find the parts and put it together, it cant be too hard i guess. plus its a hell of a lot cheaper and you feel chuffed that you just built a computer lol btw, i woulndt go for alienware tbh, they are a rip off, you can custom build a pc with the same spec for a lot cheaper! sorry, but its true... |

i will suggest Alienware also...
i'm not using it ....but there are a lot of my friends who works a full-time gamer.. that alienware is a good choice for gaming... another suggestions is that ... i surely think a large space hard-disk is needed... like 100GB or more... since u see...game always have bugs... and in my experience ...( i surely install and play more then few hundred or thousand of different game...chinese japanese english ....big company small company games...) and when i install a lot of game in my computer... my computer end up really unstable... so i usually split my computer in 2 drives...eg. C: and D: one for the system and one for games.... good things is if u need to reinstall or even format yr system... usually u can keep those valuable save u have... and also once yr system become unstale...u can just format the system drive ... without pain.... sorry abit off topic... secondly ...cooling for cpu, display card , motherboard is really important... so b4 thinking about get a good cpu or display card... count the cost of cooling system also... my recent computer.... my cooling system become cost more then my motherboard+cpu... i bought this pc for about half a year now... and run quite smooth with different games... and cooling...really important for gaming beside a really good cpu and display card.. |
