Re: calling all computer geeks
i get an error when i try to view that link so i cant see the shopping cart. I built me my own computer and i will never buy a factory desktop ever again.
Newegg is where i got all my stuff to build my PC, there awesome! I bought the Geforce nvidea 8800gts, if you want a super gaming computer buy the best video card you are willing to pay for. You also want a minimum of 2gb of ram, all your games coming out now still don't require more than that. I would also go with a dual core AMD procecessor and AMD motherboard, they tend to have faster processing speeds. also make sure that all your hardware can be connected with the newer types of cables, (the name escapes me at the moment) you dont want to use the old ribbon ata cables.

Re: calling all computer geeks
