This is a computer I customized from Dell. I don't know much about computers, but I know how to use them. A lot of the stuff I included I don't have as of right now. Tell me what I should add, change, or if this is a good deal. I can afford it, but I'm not going to pay for it unless it's a good deal and has everything I need for gaming, etc.

Thanks.

Edit: Ugh, the link isn't right. Hold on, I'll change it.

You can probably get a VERY decent gaming computer for less than 3 grand...

Start off with figuring what games you play often and what their requirements are. For example, Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake III Arena and Warcraft III work just FINE on my 850 mhz pentium III. They ran fine with 384 mb of RAM and a 32 mb graphics card, though I have since upgraded my memory and will max the computer out at 768 mb RAM by the end of the summer.

Even with high requirement games, a computer with 2 ghz or faster processing, anything over 512 mb of RAM (over 1 gb is better), a modern graphics processor and a hard drive large enough for your storage needs should cover you. You should be able to get all of that for around the $1,000 mark.

Always research before you buy too.
