Q. I really do not care for the looks, i just want a computer that is very fast with a really good graphics card dual core processor or anything better, dual graphics card would be great and fast cooling to stop the lags from when computer overheats.
I really don't want an ok computer, i am looking for the best one but there are so many out there claiming to be the best.

A. The best gaming desktop computer would be any computer capable of running the most demanding games on the highest settings on whatever monitor (or monitors) you're playing them on.
The best video card is the GTX 590, which is basically two cards in one. AMD/ATI has their own version of the double card, the 6990. Both are around $700 for a typical version, and there are factory overclocked versions that cost more. However, almost any game will run well on the highest settings on several monitors with a GeForce GTX 580 or a Radeon HD 6970.
Most games can run on the highest settings (with the right video card) on i5-2400 or Phenom II X4. Only a few games out there, and only on the absolute highest settings on several monitors, will benefit from anything more - the i7-2600k. There are processors that are even faster but that's pointless for gaming.
If you want the ultimate future-proof gaming desktop, it should have the following:
i7-2600k processor (this will be good enough for years)
SLI or CrossFire support in the motherboard.
A single video card at first, as powerful as you can afford. Then you can add a second identical card later when it becomes necessary. If you start out with a 590 or a 6990 you'll want quad SLI or CrossFire support from the motherboard to add that second card.
A power supply that can handle the computer even after the second card is added. It should also be really efficient because efficient power supplies produce less ambient heat and at really high wattage a "leak" of 20% or more can really impact your electric bill. Power supplies over 1000 watts NEED to be more than 80% efficient at peak loads or it will blow the fuse - normal power outlets max out at 1200 watts. If you're going for mega overkill you might need to have an electrician come do some wiring so you can get more power than 1200 watts.
2x4Gb of RAM, which is more than enough right now and leaves 2 open slots for the future.
Currently, the top chipset for gaming with the i7-2600k is Z68.
Make sure the case is roomy, 2 powerful video cards will make a lot of heat.

Gaming desktop computer?
Q. i want to know what i would need to build a gaming DESKTOP computer under $700. i am really new to this kind of stuff. i am a console gamer, but i find it too easy and want more of a challenge. i know somewhat of the things i would need. such as a video card, motherboard, RAM, etc. but i am not sure what will give me the best performance for the money i am using. i will be looking to upgrade it later on in the future with faster and better performing things. but i really dont know what some of the things are used for. for example, what is the motherboard for, and why that one and not another. and if they are campatible with the other parts of the computer. also i want all performance, not really for the looks. so cheap affordable case would be nice that would last me a decent amount of time. ive also been doing research but there are a lot of mixed reviews about everything, and to a new guy like me, all these letters and numbers are confusing, so some explaination to some of the meanings of things that the parts have, would be very helpful, or if i could get a website where they give a good explaination about everything. i have read a few but they mostly just say what the item is and how much , but they dont explain how this could be better than any other part of the same price range and performance. i also will be mostly playing games such as battlefield, cod, halo (if it comes to pc), minecraft, runescape, skyrim etc. thank you so much, i am asking for a lot, i might as well ask if someone could build it for me. thanks!
also, i would even get the alienware x51, but i have a strong feeling that is might mostly be a rip off and not worth the money at all, all looks and no performance, but knowing if its any good would be great!

A. I checked Ironside. No bargain there.
A gaming computer is:
Case, Motherboard, Keyboard, Mouse, Power supply, CPU, Graphics card, cooling fans, DRAM, Operating system, Optical drive, HDD[s], audio output (speakers or headset), monitor/display or TV.
Gaming is mostly in the Graphics card.
Most show here:

and the CPU is on the first tab.
Gaming summary, is matching the nearest benchmarked card to this:

AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz is a bit of a waste because it has more cores than gaming can use, but it is OK. If building your own, FX-4100 is good enough and then try to unlock and overclock.
HDD is 1TB SATA II - would prefer Sata III
Has a decent AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
is a cheaper motherboard with Fast (10/100) ethernet instead of gigabit, 6 channel audio instead of 8.
The HD 7750 of the one costing $20 more is a lower grade graphics card. 5 channel audio and gigabit ethernet. I would get the $700 one first.
The Alienware X51 is next to impossible to upgrade because the case is too small.
The $700 and tax
2nd Generation Intel® Core� i3-2120 (3M Cache, 3.3 GHz) is no better than the newegg CPUs and probably a little lower in actual gaming. 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545 is much lower than the HD 7750, and that is lower than the HD 6850. HDD is still SATA II they throw in a $25 wireless card. and use a $15 power supply 240W External Power
It is a P.O.S.
Not as good as a $530 one at Newegg.

A HD 6670 approximates GT 545
FX-4100 approximates Intel i3-2120
The PSU is better, includes a keyboard + mouse, and just a smaller HDD. The Alienware is worth $575 not $700
The HD 6670 is probably not strong enough for you. See the chart of gaming. It is about a GT 555M equal. You can build your own, but the $700 Cyberpower is made with about $650 worth of parts.
On Build your own, use HD 6850 or HD 6870 or HD 7770 or GTX 560 ti
Use an FX-4100 or i3-2120 or so
Find a decent 650Watt power supply
You pretty much match the $700 system with tweaking the numbers.

This kit at about $600 or so, is missing Windows 7 and only has the 128GB SSD, but is about right overall.
This one also

needs windows 7 and eventually a second HDD but is about right.
