If you're talking PC's... build your own.

Or get someone like TigerDirect to slap a custom build together for you..

Start with a budget...
Select a Barebones unit at about half your budget... add RAM.. and the Best Video card you can afford. I suppose you could take the harddrive out of your existing unit and put it in your new unit...but nothing beats a Solid-State Drive for your OS, if you can budget for it.

you can build a rig that will max out ANYTHING for about 1200 bucks from scratch if you do it yourself.
When in doubt, burn it down.

Put all your money in the a great graphics card, RAM and a good chip. The other stuff shouldn't cost too much money. I guess fans are important for keeping it cool but you don't have to splurge on a water-cooled system.

Whoa... don't overlook a good motherboard... the cheap stuff won't cut it.

that really only makes a difference if you're lookin ginto heavy overclocking and SLI/crossfire.

a board in the cheap range (100-130) will easily cover your needs if you dont crossfire or SLI cards.

yes. if you arent going to go with a multiple graphics card setup, you dont need an expensive motherboard.

My experience with boards have always shown that better, slightly more expensive boards simply perform better. At least stick with a better brand name. If price is an issue, get a slightly older version of a recommended board... I'd always check reviews on mobos... some are real lemons.

yeah, thats true.. i always stuck by asus and MSI for motherboards though.

im not saying you can go real cheap, but its usually unnecessary to get some of the more expensive ones.

I've had MSI boards that were completely DOA! I will never buy another one of those.
