can you guys list on what you have inside your gaming computer?

Q. i want to see what is the most popular product on the market now because i was thinking about making a gaming computer.
opps i forgot to put the amount of money to spend ...im spending about $1,200 should be enough because i want to get the core i7 because i know a lot about computer s i just want to see whats in side other peoples rig.

A. When you want a gaming computer you really don't have to look any farther than the i5 2500K. We would be better prepared with other offerings if we knew your budget for the tower. I have the Cooler Master V8 cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103055, Cooler Master RS 550 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171038&Tpk=Cooler%20Master%20RS%20550 and upgrading soon to the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139022 because I will be going SLI or crossfire and i have the the Azza 2000R Full Tower Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517011&Tpk=azza%202000R keeping everything cool. You really do want a spacious case to allow for proper airflow. With a total of 13 fans including my PSU,CPU and GPU I have that thoroughly covered.


EDIT: My computer is currently a total of about $800. If I go for 2 x http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000048&IsNodeId=1&Description=6870&bop=And&Order=RATING&PageSize=20 I will be under $1200 including a crossfire setup. If I go for 2 x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150523 I will be slightly under $1300. When you consider the GAMING performance of an i7 and a i5 2500K there isn't a reason to go with the 2600K. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=287 shows you there is a 3FPS difference between the two processors. The i5 even eclipsed the i7 in one test. If this was for grphic design and video editing then I would suggest the i7 because of the hyper-thread support. There would be no doubt in my mind that the i7 would be the obvious choice in that scenario. However in respect o your plans the i7 is a waste at ~$100 more. Go from 70 or even 100FPS and then to 73 or 103 for $100??????

Original Question

What is a reasonable price for a high end computer?

Q. I am contemplating building my own computer. For about $1300 I could build a computer with a 1.5 TB hard drive, 8 GB of ram, a 3.06 GH processor and a 320 bit video card, not to mention an ASUS motherboard to put it all on (I already own a box I could put it in). I am wondering if it would be cheaper to buy all this online, or if I should just upgrade a PC from Best Buy.

A. Building your own always comes out to be cheaper. Usually you save $100. You use higher quality parts and have better warranties. You have the satisfaction of building it yourself.
Let me know if you need help finding parts
$1300 is pretty much ideal to play games at 1080p while still being very upgradable
