Hey folks, so I busted my laptop by dropping it on the floor, I know right. Rather than salvage it, I'd rather get a gaming machine, since I love computer games and have missed playing them. So, I've been doing research on this topic over the web and have come to the conclusion of buying a moderate gaming machine.
Which company would you recommend in building a machine for me (e.g., Falcon, CyberPower, AlienWare, Velocity Micro, etc)?
In doing this, can someone give me some specs on the very basic necessities I will need? I've also been reading up on dual-core vs quad-core processors, and the benefits of having two video cards instead of one. For Vista, it has been said that 2 GB of RAM is good, which the ability to upgrade at a later time, which I am greatly fine with. Also, not sure about SLI vs CrossFire (for graphics cards), but which would you prefer?
So, I guess I am asking nicely, to help out a new comer to the boards and recommend some specs in helping me customize a desktop for my budget, which is around $2000 - 2500 ... if one can be built for less, I'm willing to hear it.
Games I'd like to play: any sports games (fifa, madden, nba, etc)
Action/Adventure/Misc: (tomb raider, hitman, crysis) and any fantasy games that I might get interesed in ...
thanks a lot guys!
