no this is the off topic section, and this is off topic. and since ost gamers do need to own some sort of computer, i would believe that some of them would know a thing or 2 on how to buy them. would you like me to post it in the plaza instead with WTB COMPUTER

destructionmama · Post by **destructionmama** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:43 pm

well, if you can afford it try to build one yourself, because its way better customized, and can actually save you a couple hundred, you can get pretty cheap parts if you are building it yourself.

a SRI ready would be real nice on the new games coming out.

SRI = using 2 video cards to buffer the graphics, look for motherboards that say SRI ready

of course you gotta pay for 2 video cards if you want SRI technology

go to Nvidia.com and they'll get you started

Not true, except for the extreme games like crysis, most games are able to play just fine on a pc that's around $550-$700
