Q. well. my laptop is compleatly F.U.B.A.R all my games slowly stopped working and now even diablo 1 doensn't work(and yes all my drivers and direct x are updated)
so its time to get a new computer. but i don't know what the best components are for running games that use the system recources required for .. i think 'gears of war' is one of the newest games. im currently looking at www.anandtech.com but i have no idea what is the best is.
i) whats the best video/sound card
ii) what type of RAM do i use (theres more than one apparently)
iii) what type of proccesor/motherboard do i use. i've heard centrino quad core's are bad for games but i don't know many other types.
iv) Cooling system. i've seen computers smoke and melt before from inadiquate cooling.
can't imagine it would matter what dvd or harddrive you use.
what have i missed?
unless theres a site that sells computers online specificaly for gaming. with the computers reguarly updated for todays game needs.

A. Building a gaming computer, or any computer for that matter, is a fun and enjoyable process... but it will cost you. As you probably already know, good computers are not cheap. I will try to tell you the right parts to build a computer that should keep the price under $1500.
1. Motherboard: Nvidia Nforce 680i SLI --- about $150
2. CPU (Central Processing Unit): Intel Q6600 Quad Core --- about $200
3. Graphics Card: Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 MB(Megabytes) --- about $240
4. Operating System: Windows XP Pro --- about $140
5. Power Supply: Apevia Iceberg 680 Watt --- about $120
6. Memory/RAM: Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz --- about $35 to $60
7. Cooling: A fan should come with the CPU and some fans should come with the computer case.
8. Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 250GB Hard Drive --- about $60
9. CD ROM Drive: LITE-ON Black CD-ROM Drive --- about $14
10. DVD Drive: Sony NEC Optiarc Black DVD-ROM Drive --- about $16
11. Computer Case: This one is mainly up to you for personal taste reasons but I chose one that most people would like:
NZXT Apollo Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side, Front USB, Firewire and Audio Ports --- about $70
TOTAL: $1050
That might sound pretty expensive but that computer will last you a very long time for computer games and other heavy applications (i.e. photoshop and video editing software).
Here are some websites that are centered around building computers:
www.tigerdirect.com
www.newegg.com
