Best gaming computer EVER?!

[Acepilotf14]

Please tell me what you think the best gaming computer is, that can play like BF2 andHL2 smooth as pie. Yum.. I'm thinking about asking for one at christmas so I need a specific one.

Budget?

 

[giant384]

any computer that ranges 1500+

A beefy Core 2 Duo and 8800gtx would be pretty quick

Build your own! You save a TON of money, and if you don't know anything about computer hardware, it's more than worth your time to read up on it rather than shell out a few extra hundred bucks and end up with mid-range hardware anyway.

Naw, that happens in a years time when it's already stuggling with the latest games and a better rig can be bought for under half the price

I have no idea how to build my own PC.
But I guess... 1000-2000 dollars? MY grandma would be getting it for me.. so not too much.. that MONITOR IS LIKE 3000$!!!

If you don't know how to build one, find someone who does.

FETCH! I wish my grandma would buy me a computer. It usually goes the other way around.

You probably want someone who knows stuff about pcs to buy you one. I know from experience that you can tell someone exactly what to buy... and the come home with something else.

Why not 4 gigs of RAM?!

I'm talking about if she asked me what to get and I had a 1k - 2k limit.
