Q. I can no longer use my e machines computer for gaming due to my motherboard shorting out. Plus my xbox360 recently shorted out as well. So I figure that I should just get a cheap long lasting computer. Something that has a lot of hard drive space and a long lasting motherboard. And it doesn't need a good video card, since I already have the one I am using.
A. Your best bet would be to build your own. You get exactly what you want that way, and it's usually a lot cheaper than buying an HP/Dell/whatever, and you get higher quality components.
If you would like, you can add me on MSN and I can help you price together a computer.

What computer components make a computer system good?
Q. I want to know what exact component parts makes a computer gaming system outshine other computers, such as it's graphic card and other components. Can you name a general computer system that is rated for it's gaming features?
A. GPU, CPU and RAM, in that order, I'd say.
I'm more of a laptop enthusiast myself, but the NVidia GTX 29x/39x series seems great, especially in an SLI configuration.
As for CPUs, it can get a little confusing; it depends on what games you're playing. Most games that weren't made in the last three or four years can't take full advantage of more than 2 cores, so a high-power Core 2 Duo is perfect for those, and is what I look for. Otherwise, if you're playing newer games, many very new games can use more than 2 cores, so a good Core i7 CPU is perfect for that - 4 cores with hyperthreading.
Having enough/fast RAM is good, too, but usually won't be the dealbreaker, since it usually won't make that huge of an impact. 4 GB or more is good if you're a heavy-duty gamer (keep in mind you need a 64-bit OS to use more than 3), and look for DDR3 with fast clocks, just make sure your motherboard supports it.
When it comes to DESKTOPS, I can't really name any pre-fab computer brand that shines above the others, but iBuyPower is one place to consider. Personally I'd just build the computer myself; you save a LOT of money that way.
