Get a better processor too if you're a gamer. The RAM memory looks good.

lizard is being a little silly saying that the GFX card isn't great, but its memory is not as much as you may need. An 8800 GTX or Ultra would please you.

It all depends on what you want though and how much cash you have to spare. They are about to release the 9x series in the not too distant future.

I have a grand give or take

not much more to spare as I am taking the missus to new york for xmas shopping
 
I take it you are buying the parts separately and putting it together then? or is it a ready-built package?

It's obviously a fast computer but if your needs are focusing on gaming then I'm sure you could maybe tweak it a little - just listen to Weaste!

PS there is a computer sticky thread in the general, you may have got more erm exposure there..
 
To be honest if you are going to be gaming the processor is not going to cut it. You are going to need atleast a 3ghz processor but the ramis good. Maybe the graphics card but i dont really know much about them.

I read it as 7600 instead of 8600!
