Money is a concern:

AMD XP >1800
512 megs of ram
at least a 60 gig hard drive 7500rpm drive ata 133
Nvidia GF4 Ti4200 or GF3

Money is not an option:

Intel P4 > 2gig
1 gig of ram
2 X 120 gig hard drive 7500rpm drive ata 133 -striped
Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 or ATI 9700 pro
21" monitor

Also moved to off topic.

Good luck with your system

If you have the cash id say go Alienware. They are going to give yout he best gaming PC you can get, but if you wanna spend $5,000.00 + (American), at least when i customized mine to see what id have to sepnd thats what i got, then go for it, ull be happy.

If money is in your concern..id say you have two options:

1: Build your own, you can make a great system for as low as a few hundred with some nice mhzage etc

2: You can buy a dell for about 800 bucks...that will come with a p4 at liek 1.4 - 2.0 gigs with a nice size HD, prob a GeForce 2 64mb and a stock sound card. Now, with that you can ask santa to bring you a nice GeForce 3 Ti 500 (dont get gf4 they do more harm then good, they cost you an arm and a leg and they just blow ass) and an Aduigy sound card..pop those in and ull be set to go. ALl with this youll get XP Home edition plus a decent program package, ya know MS Office XP etc etc

those are the routes id go

Hey, I build custom computers for people, email me if you'd like to look into that garasaki@aol.com

Depending on what options you want, you could go as low as 750 bucks for a decent gaming system, although I'd recommend something at about 1150 for something pretty nice. But, whatever you do, don't buy a dell...blah!!

speaking of an OS. Isn't thier an OS that only reads 256 megs of your ram, regardless how much you have?

I'm building a new computer next summer - you can get the same stuff as Alienware, sometimes better and get a better price.
