Q. Hi,
I want to get the best gaming rig I can for under $3000. I'd probably need to customize it, but that's fine, just tell me what specs I should get!
Thanks so much!

A. Build it yourself. For $3000, you can get an absolutely SICK computer (whatever you do, DONT buy an overpriced alienware).
Try ordering all your parts off newegg.
Use this motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130574&Tpk=msi%20p67
This power supply (trust me, it will power virtually anything)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139022&cm_re=tx_850-_-17-139-022-_-Product
Two of these graphics cards. (if you want, the ATI Radeon 6990 is nice, and the 2 Nvidia GTX 570s would perform quite nicely with a little bit more money. In all honesty, though, there is no way to justify the price for a single, high end GTX 580, when cheaper dual card setups offer better performance).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102914&cm_re=6950-_-14-102-914-_-Product
This processor (or go with a 2600k if you feel like splurging a bit)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&Tpk=2500k
This memory (maybe excessive, but you want a high end rig)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311&cm_re=8gb_ddr3-_-20-231-311-_-Product
This DVD drive (it doesn't really matter which drive you get)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136216&cm_re=dvd_drive-_-27-136-216-_-Product
This hard drive (you can pay for a bigger or faster hard drive if you need it).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218
This CPU cooler (works fine. This cooler is great, but in all honesty, the 2500k and 2600k processors run very cool anyway).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065&cm_re=hyper_212%2b-_-35-103-065-_-Product
Any of these cases (pick a case you like, but be sure that it's not to small, and buy extra case fans if you can. The antec 900 is more than fine)
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=7&name=Computer-Cases&Order=RATING
And this MONSTER of a monitor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824185011&cm_re=2560x1440-_-24-185-011-_-Product
This thing is past HD, it professional. You've never seen detail like that before. But alternatively, you could buy 3 smaller monitors for a multi monitor setup for a similar price.
And windows 7 home premium 64 bit, $100 of newegg.
Get yourself a mouse, keyboard, and speakers, and you have a sick gaming rig that costs less than $3000. Putting it together is actually pretty easy.
EDIT: And by the way, please don't make the mistake of wasting $2800 on a computer only to use a single 1920x1080 monitor ot TV. Your computer will never live up to it's true potential! Buy 3 good screens or the beautiful $800 ultra high res monitor I described, so you can at least put all that computer power to use.

Best Gaming Computer for under $3000?
Q. Hello!
I'm looking to build my first gaming computer, and so I would like to have the best gaming computer possible for under $3000.
So, if someone could link me to the best computer parts of my price range, (CPU, Processor, Case, etc) from NewEgg or TigerDirect, that would be so fantastic, I'm a teenager and I'm really interested in building my own gaming rig, but I really don't know what the best parts would be, so I'm asking the experienced guys!
And also, if anyone knows any good books or guides on how to build a computer for beginners, that would be awesome as well.
I know this is sort of a lot to ask, but I really do appreciate you guys helping me.
Thanks!!
