I want to buy a good pc but I dont know a lot about computers. I primarily want to use it for gaming. Can anyone tell me which are some good ones, plz?

Id say get a XPS with 3.0+ ghz quad core processor with 6-8 gig DDR3 ram with a 350+ gig Hard drive with a Nividia 9600 + but a computer like that isnt gunna be cheap but its best for gaming

but yeah look for a XPS if your wanting a very good gaming computer. the computer spec's are really what matters like i said in the message above something like that would run any game smoothly. More than likly would be able to run ARMA on VERY HIGH graphics smoothly

Whats your budget? And when you mean gaming pc, do you mean a laptop or desktop?

Best bet is to go to newegg.com and using the search function you can narrow down to find exactly what you want.

9600+? are you mad.

The 9**** isn't dirext is just the 8800 series renamed and it's fairly old now and will not be able to run directx 11 games such as battlefield 3.

I will take a look around for a decent computer.

Whats your budget btw?

Here ya go Buy a new dell with the fastes processor and Max Ram..and just manualy Upgrade the Video Card and power unit http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=86839&CatId=3669 this is one I was lookin at for a desktop that I wish I had the money for lol

What? What do you mean 9xxx series isn't DirectX. So my 9800 GTX is lying to me? Damn, I knew computers lie.

And as long as you have a DX10 card, BF3 will work as it's stated in the minimum requirements.

Screw buying a pc. Build your own, you can save money and learn a lot more that way.

Thats even better. Build Your Own alway wins ..and is probably way cheaper !

you want a good gaming rig? depends on budget but here you go an example:
-intel i5 2500k cpu
-asus p8p67 mb
-kingston hyperx 4gb 1600mhz ddr3
-gtx 560ti gpu
-ocz modxstream pro 700w psu

with this you will have a fun with any game 1900x1080 full settings
enjoy

thanks for the help guyz. how much would it cost to build my own? cuz the most I can probably spend is like 600$

hmm well depends on the brand you go with and what all you want in it. Give me a list of what you would want in the computer. If you want a pretty damn good gaming desktop you might be spending bout 800-1000 ill look around for some and ill post some links and let you check them out.

thanks nighthawk

okay this looks like a pretty great computer within your price range. This one that i found is 750 but its great all around for anything you wanna use it for. go to dell's website type in XPS 7100 Desktop its the one for 749.99

o yeah it wont have the monitor but i just looked at wal-mart and the first thing $105 for a 22" monitor led and all tht

Is it this one?

great. thanks for the help

yup glad to help

Btw, you can get a better build with $600, seeing as the 6670 isn't a great card; I'll post back with it once I find the specs.

Here we go:

Motherboard: Asus M4A88T-V EVO - $85
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE @3.20GHz - $120
GPU: EVGA 01G-P3-1372-TR GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked - $155
RAM: 2x 2GB Kingston KHX1600C9D3B1/2G HyperX - $38 (Buy 2 of em)
PSU: 500W Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2 - $50
HDD: 500GB Hitachi 0F10381 - $40
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST - $20
Case: NZXT GAMMA - $40
Cooling System: Corsair Hydro Series H50 - $70

Total: ~$620

This goes a bit over $600, but it'll be able to play games at reasonable settings for a while, and that extra money is worth it for the cooler; you can overclock like crazy with that thing.

Also... you're gonna have to pirate Windows 7, but thats kids stuff, if you don't know how, I can teach you.

Hope I helped!
