What is the best processor, mother board, video card, and etc.for computer gaming desktop?

Q. Im planning to put a computer gaming shop business. Please give me advice on whats the most affordable but best set up of computer I can assemble.please be specific.im really not a tech person.

A. It is all very budget dependent. Here is a nice $1000 part set if putting it together yourself, and be sure to watch youtube videos and work on a non-static flat big surface and wear gloves or ground yourself and never force things together.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zWjz
CPU Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz 4 cores, 4 threads since gaming does not use hyperthreading nor more than 4 cores.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler - a good value for overclocking the CPU. It is tall, but very efficient and priced well.
Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155 Motherboard - supports overclocking, and has 2 slots of pciex16 to possibly add a second GPU in SLI at another time for crossfiring instead of replacing the graphics card as you would in a 1 slot system.
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 The right amount for gaming in the right speed for the CPU and is a good brand 1.5V with heat spreader in CAS 9
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive - fairly reliable bulk storage in a good size of a terrabyte
Sandisk 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk - to hold Windows and a few games for fast load and top performance. Can use half in partition for Intel RST/SRT HDD acceleration if preferred.
Video Card Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 2GB - Highly rated solid performer. I did not look up its status for SLI vs crossfire
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/660?vs=548
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case - Nice looking case with good air flow and roomy. Starts with only 2 fans as adequate, but could add a top fan. There are many good choices of cases. Has USB 2 and 3 and audio ports.
Rosewill Green 630W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Decent enough as a single rail (one +12V as preferred) with a 6 and 6+2 pcie connector set and since GTX 660 needs only one, should be enough for crossfire one day without changing it. 50A (600 watts) on 12V to power GPU, CPU, fans and disk drives. There are better and worse PSUs but this is surely at least adequate and more.
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer - any DVDRW
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
gamers prefer Win 7
Still need keyboard, mouse, audio output (speakers/headphones), and a display

Husband addicted to computer games slacks on work=no money. How to help him?

Q. We have been married for a year and a half now and just had our first child. We only have one car and due to the baby being so little I am not able to return to work right now. My husband has steadily gotten back into computer games over the past year and it is heavily affecting us financially. He works independently at home. Every week he spends less time working and more time playing. We barely get enough money to pay our rent. Our other bills are paid by family members and it has been hard to get him to take the payments over. he is always looking for another job but never seems to stir up the courage to do what is necessary right now to get us out of the two room apartment we are currently squeezed into. We have talked about this a lot before and he has tried to kick the habit a few times before but he keeps coming back. We have dragged out the reasons and problems he has that cause the addiction but I am starting to feel like he doesnt want to change his lifestyle. He is content to live cramped up in somebody elses garage with his wife and baby and dog. I am just feeling so lost as to what to do now. I love him with all of my heart and desperately want to help him and be supportive. I believe we can make this right I just dont know how and it is wearing on me so heavily. I feel like I am bearing all the weight for the family and our relationship right now. Please help.

A. Family members are paying your bills? What is wrong with this guy. I vote no for depressed. Depressed people don't sit on video games all day instead of working to support their family. That is called being a lazy slacker.

If I were you I would get out and stay with your family members who are paying those bills. They can stop paying and maybe he will work.

What are some computer games like World of Warcraft?

Q. I have played World of Warcraft for about a year now, and I recently began playing Rift. They're very interesting computer games, and I was wondering are there more like those? I would like to have a free trial at the beginning so I don't waste money on a game I don't like, and free games all the time would be nice as well! Or at least very cheap. Any ideas?

A. Fiesta Online is similar to WoW, and I have played it before.

Which needs a faster computer to run:Autocad or 3ds Max?

Q. I know they're for different things, But I was just wondering which would need a better computer.


I've looked at the system requirements, But for AutoCad it doesn't say much. So I'd like to get some user opinion.


Specifically, I'm most concerned about the graphics card. So please take that into account too.


Also, I'm talking about comparing the 2012 versions of each, But if performance in the past is still relevant that's fine too.

Thanks.
Edit:Still take CPU, Etc into account as well

A. The only time you need 'fast' is rendering on 3Ds Max. The AMD64 Phenom-II x6 CPU is the most remarkable video rendering setup I have ever worked with and that is backed up by cpu comparision charts. 1 minute of playback video takes 1:05 processing time on the AMD with SATA drives running 7200 RPM wired with an ASUS motherboard. My AMD64 Athlon x1 takes 20 minutes to do the same video.

With 3Ds Max you have a choice in preferences whether you want the viewports to be OpenGL, or the AutoCADDY graphics library, or maybe they have added the Microsofty way by now. You add an nVidia card for vers. OpenGL 1 and vers. OpenGL 2. ATI Radeon is only supporting the OpenGL 2.0 version.

Even though ATI is AMD and one day the GPU/cpu chips may merge, I have always like nVidia because they support Linux so well. The colors seem brighter on ATI.

So, admit the machine you want will see heavy Gaming and that merits the costs of a high-end GPU card. The i7 does games better because software makers have optimized the Intel for their software.

I need some advice on building a gaming desktop.?

Q. I'm looking into building a gaming desktop and so far the only thing that i chose is the video card, which is the ZOTAC ZT-50313-10M GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Video Card. So what i need help with is choosing the parts that would work best with the card.
My budget is around 950-1000 dollars.
I also really need specifics on the parts.

A. It's not that difficult to match the parts together. You probably need something similar to these two setups.

Could someone help me find parts to a good gaming computer for about 500$?

Q. Because i must be looking on the wrong website for parts, ~i don't want to spend to much on a part thats not to expensive. If its a good mid range gaming computer, then maybe my parents may be interested in dishing out some money. * btw, i know how to assemble a computer* thanks.

A. A "midrange" gaming computer is going to run you about $800. I mean, for a remotely descent gaming computer, you're going to need to spend $100 on the GPU, Motherboard, CPU, leaving only $200 for the case/psu/ram/hd/dvd, which just isn't going to happen. You might be able to push it for $600 though.

I experience derealization. How can I make it go away or deal with it without the overwhelming fear?

Q. I get very afraid of death and 2012 and life in general. I start thinking the craziest thing and sometimes get verryyy weirded out by normal body functions and natural things. I sometimes look at myself wrong in the mirror and get extremely freaked. How can I deal with this!!!!!! :(

A. In the year 999, many people believed that the coming of the millenium would be the end of the world. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! Similarly, with 1999: IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! And Y2K and the computers crashing: IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! And when the planets lined up: IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! Now, it is 2012: IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!

Derealisation is addressed in section 46, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris Employ those techniques. Only use a small hand mirror to check appearance, so just a small part of the body may be seen at a time, yet anything wrong will still be immediately apparent; cover (taping over/painting) full length mirrors. It is important to regularly monitor, and deal with a negative internal monologue (self talk), or mental process, such as disturbing thoughts, images, impulses, or emotions, by the process of (a): recognising it, and (b): challenging it immediately.

Technique For Re-Programming Negative Thoughts: When you notice something negative, such as: "I'm never going to get over this!" or: "Why am I always so pathetic/useless/such a loser?" or even: "I can't do this/will never get over this!", even an image, emotion, or a memory; recognise that this is being generated from the negative part of your mind. Having identified and labelled it, visualise a large, red, flashing, "STOP!" sign, and/or possibly a stern faced person wagging an index finger at you in a negative manner, then say to yourself as forcefully as you can, even aloud in a big voice, if alone: "I know this tactic: GO AWAY FOR A WHILE !!!" You may want to use either: "ruse", "ploy", "game", or "trick", instead of "tactic". In the case of an image, visualise a large "STOP" sign, or your preferred version. Some people go so far as to keep a wide rubber band in their pocket, then put it around their wrist, when they catch themselves backsliding, stretch and release it, as a method of reprogramming their mind sooner, but I don't regard it as being strictly necessary.

Remember to remove it, afterwards, if you use this method. Try replacing a negative thought with a positive affirmation of your choice, like: "I am a unique individual, with my own set of skills, and good points", or "I may not be perfect, but I'm doing the best I can, right now". Imagine, as vividly as you possibly can, that your concerns, anxieties, worries, fears, your self-recriminations, all the agonizing "I'm-so-Stupids," and "I'm-too-fats"; every painful "I-can't-I-have-it" or "I-can't-do-it"are huge raging, hurtful bulls snorting and charging at you. You see them coming at you and you hold out your red matador's cape at arms length and simply let them charge right by. Every time they come at you, hold out your arm with the red cape and let them rage and snort and go right on past. Practice the progressive muscle relaxation, in section 11, at ezy build.

Set yourself a specific time period for worrying about anything, (say; around three quarters of an hour, possibly when you get home, or after your evening meal, but not too close to bedtime) after which, resolve firmly to refuse to even entertain the thought of worrying again on that day: realise and accept that to do otherwise would be counterproductive to your mental health, and enjoyment of life. You will have had your "worry time" for the day, and can just write down any more thoughts that come to mind, and say to yourself: "Well, I'll just have to worry about that tomorrow, won't I?".

A. Hi,
Well, I had the same processor as yours a few years ago , till I upgraded to a first Generation i3 , after that, in 2012 I upgraded to a i7-3770 K , so if you want to upgrade get something like the i3 o r the i5 , don't go for the i7 it is way too overpriced if you are just a gamer, Get the i3 or i5 3rd Generation , by the way you can't just think that if it is just a computer anything will fit into anything. You will need a new Motherboard , a new Hard Drive , A new Power Supply , the only thing you could probably keep is your Case and other peripherals , the recommended option would be to buy a new PC .

How much memory does my mac have?

Q. I want to buy hoyle card games 2010 and it says I need at least 3 GB Hard Disk Space. When I look under memory on my computer, it says 1 GB. I do not believe that I only have 1 GB left because I hardly have anything on my computer, is hard disk space something else? Answer quick please.

A. These are 2 different memories you are talking about.
Your RAM which stands for Random Access Memory is different from your HDD which is how much memory in Gb you have for storing things. Your computer has 1 Gb of RAM, but you definitely have room on your HDD for 3 Gb. If you ever got dangerously low, your Mac would tell you.

How do you add another base game to the Sims 3 launcher?

Q. I downloaded my Sims 3 game in 2010, and now I'm trying to download The Sims 3 World Adventures to the launcher but it won't let me. Whenever I put the disk in the computer nothing pops up!

A. Uhm, well, the first thing you need to check is, does the game work. If you can't play the sims 3, then simply reinstall it. If you can, then it is a matter of checking your computer settings. Is autoplay activated? Do you have the memory? Do you have the graphics? Ect, ect.

If you place the disk in the drive and check 'My Computer' is should be there, nothing has to come up automatically. If it doesn't show in my computer, then it is a fault with the disk or the drive (try cleaning it before you attempt to take it back).

The Sims 3: World Adventures isn't another base game, it is an expansion pack, therefore there really should be no issues as to installing it, other than the ones I have already stated.

How can kids these days complain that life is all about work?

Q. Think about it, we work for a better tomorrow. We now have so much leisure time that kids often times, do not even have to work anymore. We left lives of living on the penny and being scared about the future and have so much leisure time. We also get vacation days, tv,computers,game systems and clubs. Also I would like to say, most of us do not have to do physical work anymore like lift hay and work in factories. Though i cannot say this for 3 world peoples.





In a easy world, do we have more time to try to find ourselves?

Is it that since our world is becoming more comfortable, we complain more because we are becoming also more lazy?

Any opinion and answer is excepted. Except for lies.

Freedom of speech.
People, we work for a better tommorrow. So that in the future generations after us will even have better life then our is already.
Also i am a freshman in highschool. A teenager. NOT AN ADULT OR AND ELDERLY MAN.
@ the 4th question below.
No i will complain. I am a child of the lazy generation. Therefore i have lots of time to complain. And you know what? This question contradicts my life because i am a lazy guy in real life and complain about doing the dishes or doing laundry
@5th question
i don't have a job and im to lazy to get one right now. i also would like to peruse a career that i enjoy, Also though my question has been said, rich people oftentimes piss me off.
@7th question

Unless we get a way of things in this country, America. Where money is everything. (which sucks) then no. I will be this way. I would like an ideal world though where everyone doesnt have to work and go to war, but thats not happening.

A. Your question's confusing, are you a kid or an adult?
I'm 18, so i'm not a kid ,but you might of been thinking around my age group.
I have loads of work, if it's not college, it's earning money, if it's not earning money it's voulenteering.
Mental work e.g. studying is harder than physical work. If you're athletically fit, physical work is just hard, but academic work can be literally impossible if you don't cut off your social life.

How do you install a graphics card and power supply completely?

Q. I want to upgrade my current gaming computer (CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 Desktop) with a new graphics card, and a new power supply. I just want to know what graphics card/power supply to use, and also if there is more to it, then just plunging it into the PC. Do you have to install a software to go along with it?

A. Just plug the graphics card into a PCI slot, you will need to download drivers, drivers are free. Power supply needs some screws, which should come with it. Then you just have to hook up the power cords. I would reccommend a GTX 600 series or AMD 7000 series. I prefer Nvidia. For a power supply, I would reccommend a Rosewill Fortress 750 watts. If you want a video tutorial, look up "How to build a gaming pc 2012". It should be by Carey Holesman. I might have miss-spelled the last name.

How much does it cost to build a decent gaming computer?

Q. I'm looking to play League of Legends on max settings but I'll also be using this computer for school work and such. My current computer gets like 20 fps on LoL so I'm looking for a BIG upgrade. Would it be cheaper to buy a power supply and a graphics card and just replace it with the parts in my current computer? Or if I do buy brand new parts I'm looking for quad core processor and an 8GB ram at least. The graphics card doesn't have to be super HIGH end because I just want to use it for LoL. Thanks. Most thorough answer gets 5 stars.
My budget is $700 but I'm looking to save as much money as possible. Already have a gaming keyboard and decent screen.

A. You don't need quad core for gaming, almost all games will only use one or two cores. And you won't be able to build around a quad core with $700.
For gaming forget about AMD, THEY SUCK!!! And what they sell for a quad core is in fact a dual core with 4 processing threads, AMD is full of it...
INTEL is the king in gaming.

You can build a decent budget gaming PC for under $750, here it is:

Yahoo answers will only allow up to 10 links, so I have to leave out the not so important components. Just copy paste in the search field on Newegg to find them, I will give the full name but no link for those.

BEST BUDGET GAMING DESKTOP PC BUILD FOR THE MONEY (under $750.00USD for the tower only)
Monitor, keyboard and mouse can add from $175 to over $500, depending on size and model you want.
All prices are in $USD and in the USA, current as of December 2012 and they might be slightly different one way or the other by now.
Also, some shipping charges may apply to some of the items.
Add your state sales tax if you reside in NJ, CA or TN - that's where Newegg has warehouses.
Look for similar parts on Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc if you want to avoid paying Uncle Sam.

How do you select a graphics card for gaming in Windows 8 Consumer Preview?

Q. I want to play a computer game on my laptop running Windows 8 Consumer Preview, but it always comes out with the error "No graphics card detected that supports shaders; please wait for us to implement a shader fallback path." I believe that my laptop is not using the higher end graphics card to run this game, but I don't know how to make it do so on Windows 8. Any Ideas?

A. You could check the manufacturer of your graphic card's website, and try and download the latest, maybe beta driver for your card. I downloaded a beta driver from NVidia for my laptop, and games work great now on Windows 8.

What is the the difference between computer types?

Q. Hi everyone! I am about to buy a new desktop pc but are unsure about the different types. I would like one that could run most pc games well (i.e. sims 2 etc!) please could you specify types of computers that will do this (preferably under £400.00). And the graphics of different pc's.
Thanks!

A. Every PC is different.
For gaming... I would recommend an AMD processor.
If you get an Intel... STAY AWAY FROM CELERON. You will like the pricetag, but hate the performance.
At least 1GB of ram... (you need more, but you are trying to stay under 400)
Any decent Nvidia or Ati card will do you well. You need to spend more on this too, but it is a budget killer.

Then get as big as a hard drive as your budget will allow.

Where can i order a good gaming pc?

Q. I want to get a gaming pc this june and i am willing to go anything under 3000 dollars (minus tax, shipping ETC.) I want a pc with 2 gtx 680 sli an i7 processor and at least 16 gigs of ram I have looked at company reviews from ibuypowerpc and cyberpowerpc and lots fo people state there computer came assembled or broken and alienware is just a complete rip off. Where are some good places where i could find good gaming desktops?

A. First of all, there is no reason to overspend on a PC for games. A Core i5 will play games EXACTLY like an i7 will. No difference for $100 less. Secondly, unless you are running multiple monitors, there is no reason whatsoever to get 2x 680 GTX. Save the $500

Either 8 or 16 GB of RAM will be more than enough. There is no reason at all to get anything higher since it will just sit there wasted and unused, and even 16 GB is pretty much overkill

How do I open a gaming company?

Q. Hello, I am a MBA student currently pursuing my degree in International Business. Since childhood I was very fond of gaming, be it video games, computer games or console games.

Now I would like to open my own gaming company, but I don't have much idea how to go about it. Should I start as a publisher, a developer or both? Also what are the things I should keep in mind while starting my company?

Please advice.

A. Hey i dont suggest starting a gaming company yourself unless you have millions to spare. Seriously the gaming industry extremely high barriers to entry. I just graduated and we had a huuuuuuge case that analyzed the whole industry itself. If you start your company you wont have an established name which means that it is almost impossible fo you to get a spot on shelves at walmart and target which is what gaming industries want.
Another thing is that the gaming industry is very technological which means you will constantly have to update your software, the quality of your games, the systems that you are compatible with...This requires a high specialized engineer for each section.

You also will have the costs of marketing your product, start up costs, developing your equipment costs...This is a huuuuge investment the is more than likely to be lost beause of mor eestablished and developed competitors assuming that you make what an avg individual make about $75k.

I suggest working as an employee at an established gaming co such as GMA because they are contracted with one of the systems i think XBOX (I think XBOX, dont quote me on that).

Good luck. I hope i helped

Which.. Is pretty much gibberish to me. Here's what I need the laptop for: I do a lot of drawing and photoediting in Photoshop Elements 8, and I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet to do this. I cannot have this laptop lagging while I do that. I am also a horrendous multitasker, and I will type papers while listening to music and surfing the internet. I play a few computer games here and there, mostly tycoon games and Spore. Those are less important. Last but not least, I need this computer to be able to play video well, even when I'm drawing. DVDs, online streaming, Netflix, youtube, you know. It all has to run smoothly. Will this laptop deliver what I want?
Along with that.. This is going to be a birthday gift from dad. He really really doesn't want to be spending much more than $350 dollars on it.. Times are challenging, you know?

A. Well, this is DEFINITELY not the laptop for you. You like to multi-task, and this is a slow single core processor. You are going to do photo editing in a powerful program? With a very low quality integrated graphics card? This will not do what you want, especially with no lag. Try this--->

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+/+AMD+Turion%26%23153%3B+II+Processor+/+14%22+Display+/+3GB+Memory+/+320GB+Hard+Drive+-+Biscotti/1623912.p?id=1218273846151&skuId=1623912

This has a decently fast dual-core processor, a nicer graphics card, 3 GB of RAM, and 320GB Hard Drive space. This will get the job done for 30 bucks more. Don't like this one? E-mail me at monkeychow5@yahoo.com and I find one for you. Just include price please!

Why does my computer slow down periodically?

Q. My computer (desk top) recently had Kaspersky AV 2011 installed and now for some reason while I am running a program whether its a game or another program it slows down periodically and last for about 2 minutes each time,, so annoying.. The intervals are about 10-15 minutes before it slows down again,, I unplugged the internet connection also and that didn't prevent it from the periodic lagfest....What is going on here? Is there something running in the background I am unaware of? I checked the Task Manager and Processes and cannot see anything that jumps out at me, but I do see the spike on the graphical chart for usage. Any Ideas?

A. Before you do anything to your computer make sure that you have no background running applications that are hogging the system, in some cases it may be some applications triggered by your computer's settings or it may be some bottleneck issues, from you are saying I do feel that it is due to some form of memory hogging process running. You may want to isolate that by disabling some of the softwares one by one in your window msconfig, you can access to that by going to start, run, type in "msconfig" without qoutes and go to the startup tab, disable the ones you don't need and isolate the ones you suspect is the culprit. Check your computer for any spyware, adwares, malwares or any malicious softwares in your computer, as they may be able to slip through certain antivirus suites, try doing a full scan. Alternatively, you can check on the windows and antivirus application logs to see what happen during that specific time. I hope this helps you.

Is the Bastion video game hard copy also for sale?

Q. I really want to purchase the Bastion video game and I'm not sure if there's a hard copy (CD/DVD with box + manual, etc.) of that for sale. I saw it for sale via Steam but I don't want to buy from there since I collect the boxes and manuals.

A. The thing is the game doesn't exist physically as a retail hard copy, its only available through digital distributors such as Xbox Live for the the 360 and Steam for the PC. You have the understand that the studio the made Bastion is quite small and they don't have the funds to make physical copies to sell at retail stores.

There is only one single physical copy of the game but it belongs to a soldier stationed in Afghanistan, the dev's sent him the game since the soldier didn't have any means of obtaining the game digitally. And even then, they just burned the game unto an empty disk that contained the installation files so he could install it onto his computer.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/01/27/supergiant-sends-soldier-a-retail-copy-of-bastion.aspx

Usually this is the case for lots of other indie games too. If you want the game, you are going to have to buy it on Steam or try send a letter to Supergiant and see if they send you a physical copy.

A. Are you on that computer right now. Well not sitting on top of it. That would probably be a bit uncomfortable. If you are in fact using it as you read click on this http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri . YOu would then choose NFSMW 2012 from the list and let it scan your system and return a report which will show how well your system might perform. http://postimage.org/image/83kbmiwhf/ is an example of that from a while back.


If you do not have that computer you MIGHT be able to use http://www.game-debate.com/ . That CPU is OOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLDDD duh.Ok it is archaic. Anyways you would enter your game in the top right search box. Choose your game from the list and then you enter er um choose your major components manually. It will then grade your setup from 1(WORST) to 10(BEST) with that particular game in mind.

Why does my computer keep freezing up while playing games?

Q. So my internet crashes while configuring DirectX 11 during my Tomb Raider install on steam. I rebooted my computer, but now on every games I play (Not only Steam) the game freezes for a moment and re-loops the sound for about 5 seconds. This happens about 3-4 times a minute and I have no idea what to do. I verified my cash files on Tomb Raider, and I attempted to open the DirectX setup.exe but it opens then closes. My computer is not overheating, and I haven't touched my graphics card nor my cpu settings at all since 2012. Someone please help

Specs:
AMD Phenom ii x4
NVIDIA GeForce GT 670 2gb
600w Corsair CX600 PSU
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
16gb of Corsair RAM
I figured those were the only specs that matter
Also I am running windows 8

A. Make sure you have all drivers, especially graphics. Go to Nvidia.com and download your driver. Get chipset drivers from AMD. I would say reinstall windows, but you might not feel like doing that. Open dxdiag and see if you can dig up the problem. And try this http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/ht/sfc-scannow.htm
If all else fails, pour some orange juice onto the motherboard. That usually fixes everything if the other solutions don't work

What's a good list of computer components for a budget gaming pc?

Q. I need help picking out parts for a desktop gaming computer that won't break the bank. Budget wise, I want to stay under 700 or 800 dollars. I kind of want to run graphically intense games like Skyrim on decent settings. I also want a fast processor to do all of this. If anyone who is an "expert or good" with this kind of stuff I would really appreciate tips about the subject. If possible could i have a list of parts/components to work with and instructions to build... thanks

A. This is what I could come up for you. What you could do initially is spend a bit more on the core specs of the system and temporarily use the integrated graphics (which really is not made for gaming) on the CPU then you could upgrade to a better graphics card later (That's what I did). So if you can wait longer to game on it then that would be your best bet.

Also alot of these have mail-in-rebates so you can save money as long as you buy them before they expire, and then there are promo codes but newegg will only allow 1 promo per order. With Windows 7 64-bit OEM it might be a bit over budget initially maybe as much as 20$ after promo minus the rebates if you catch those. If you decide to do this you need to download the PDF's for the rebates before then expire which can be found on the item page. here are the instructions...

#1 Click on where it says "after mail-in rebate card"
#2 Click "print rebate" (you need adobe acrobat reader)
#3 Either print (printer icon) ,and, or save (the floppy disk icon) the pdf file to your documents folder

What kind of specs do you need for a gaming computer? not hardcore gaming?

Q. Im looking to buy a computer, and i've been researching it on craigslist and yahoo answers and people say that amd or intel are good for gaming. What kind of other specs are also needed to play online games like Counterstrike and Diablo, by the way im not looking for the best of the best parts im not a hardcore gamer just decent stuff :) thanks for your feedback.

A. If you're really on a budget - whichever of those games have the higher demands, I'd say get at LEAST the recommended specs, plus some type of broadband capabilities since you mentioned online play.

However, what is hardcore today will be fairly old news in the near future. So I generally recommend a system with many upgradability options. Of course, again it all depends on your budget. Besides the advancement in add-ons eventually makes things incompatible - so getting something too upgradeable can prove ineffective as well.

Can I use many accounts to participate on yahoo answers different person?

Q. Okay, if in one house got 4 children's and all of them register the yahoo account from same computer on the closing time, all of them log in to yahoo answers on the same computer on different time, will their accounts get terminate?

A. Only one account id can be used on questions and answers. If they each have their own email address, then yes they can. As long as they are not using the accounts to Point Game with each other. That is a fine line, because it shows up as the same isp address. Looks like someone with many accounts.

I want to combine a desktop with a monitor or tv screen?

Q. Hi, I want to buy a desktop also for playing games. But that's not my problem. I'm wondering if I should buy a monitor or tv screen. I want to watch tv (in time with 3D), play computer games and also ps3 games.
I think that i need a tv screen because ? Can I use the tv screen than also as a monitor for my desktop?
Or is it also possible to watch tv with a monitor? If so, what should you recommend to buy, a monitor or a tv screen?
Thanks.

A. Actually there are already many people using a TV instead of using a computer monitor, especially people who likes to play games on a big screen.

I also have a 55" TV connected to my desktop. I use it as a regular computer monitor such as web surfing, computer games, and watching downloaded videos. I also have my satellite cable connected to my TV, so I can watch TV programs in my room. I can watch TV by simply changing the input device from Input1 to a TV, then change to another to watch bluray movies or to play my wii games.

It's really easy and convenient to use as a computer monitor. You only need to connect your computer and TV via correct wires/cables. I like to use the TV screen better than using a computer monitor because it's cheaper for the size and I can utilize it in many ways.

My recommendation for a computer monitor TV is LG 47LW5600 or 55LW6500. I read many reviews complimenting those two models and they are very affordable for what they can do. It also has 3D feature and internet connectivity so you can play any 3D games or watch anything in 3D on your computer.

can I play 3d games and 3d movies using ATI Radeon 4870 x2?

Q. Hello everybody.
I'm planning to buy a 3D TV -Samsung PS-51D550
but before I do so, I need to make sure If I have to change my computer display card. Currently I have ATI Radeon HD 4870 x2 installed.
Will it help me playing 3d games and movies on my new TV?

A. The main platform for 3D is only for nvidia cards, 9000 series and up. The only way to get 3d with an ati card now is to get an IZ3D monitor. I'd definitely go with an nvidia card over a new monitor. A 4870x2 is the equivalent of a 5870, so if you got a 560ti you'll get pretty much the same performance with much less noise, heat, and power consumption. Your next step up would be a gtx 570 which would be about 20% better than what you have now.
