Q. Where can I find a computer that has good enough specs to run these games. If you dont know what I mean, Im talking about Gears of War PC or Halo 2 PC. The ones that will get you achievements. They all have minimum requirements to play them. I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers. I just need a tower. What is a good cheap gaming computer that will run all of those games? Thanks
A. BUILDING A GAMING PC.
do you have what it takes to build your own pc?
it's not as hard as most people will try to tell you it is and with a little research and a few hours of reading you will be able to gain the knowledge of how the whole process works.
there are alot of good sites around that have great articles and videos that will help to show you how to put a system together step by step.
for a better understanding of what a gaming pc is and what specs/parts you should aim to use,
try these keywords in a google search "building a gaming pc" & "budget gaming pc" and read
some of the articles that show up, but to help you save some time i have also included a few
of the links that i found to be very help full.
link 1.
this site was packed with loads of good info but involves a lot of reading but as a result
when you have read as much as you can then you will have a better understanding of what it is that you are trying to build.

this link will take you to a great set of videos on youtube that show all the steps of building a computer, there is seven separate movie that show you a few steps at a time.
i would also suggest downloading realplayer 11 if you don't already have it so you can download and save these movies to your computer for future reference.

With a cheap Gaming desktop you wont achieve a lot .
But at least putting a price would help
