Re: I am getting a new computer!
What? You want to make a computer or go buy one..
if ur going to buy one i would go with either alienware, nvidia, or dell xps
if ur going to make one, any mobo from asus is amazing. As for graphics card stick with nvidia, and dont get anything other then 9800 gt, 9800 gtx, or 260/280 gtx. Make sure ur mobo from asus will have 2 sli slots for x16 2.0 at least. check the cpu socket under the specifications for the mobo ur gonna get and get a cpu matching that socket. Try getting the ram after you get the mobo because usually in the manual it says what type of ram you should get, but if you dont want to do that i hear corsair is real good. You probably want to get one stick of 2 gb of ram, because atm the only game using up the most ram is warhammer and that is at max 900 mb (no memory leak) of ram. So that the next time you would need to buy more ram would be like a year or two from now, or you can buy anything thats on sale like a 4 gig or something, but beyond 4 gigs is ridiculous. If your going SLI on your computer, it would be safe to say getting a power supply that is 700 watts or higher. if your going to use only one graphics card, 600-700 watts is good. Then the rest is pretty simple. Just make sure to get both a dvd and cd disc drive, or just pull the ones in ur current computer and use those. (thats what im doing)

Re: I am getting a new computer!
Thanks Mrconfus3d.
Red Hachetman is designing the computer, it is going to be custom with one or two, maybe three graphic cards. I want it good enough to play crysis on full quality. It needs like 2.5 gb ram to play on normal quality. I might get the nvidia 280 GTX with like 8gb ram and the mother board might be ASUS ROG Striker II Extreme, 3-way. Anyway i might not get all this stuff, the only thing i am sure with is the hard drive 750Gb and another 750 gb as backup.
