this is dellz best computer for gaming mine is somewhat like that but picture everything doubled then thats my pc CUSTOM MADE TO SUITE MY GAMING NEEDZ XPS 720 H2C Intel® Core™2 Extreme QX6850 (8MB,3.67GHz Factory overclocked) Operating SystemGenuine Windows® XP Media Center 2005 Edition with re-installation CD CD ROM/DVD ROMDual Drives: 48x Combo + 16x DVD+/-RW w/ dbl layer write capable Memory4GB2 Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs Specifications - Memory Hard Drive500GB3 Performance RAID 0 (2 x 250GB3 Seagate SATA 3Gb/s 7200 RPM HDDs) Video CardsDual nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB Sound CardsSound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic (D) Sound Card

um 4 gb over ram should be sufficient, dual core processor, some kind of Nvidia, Geforce and a couple of giant fans, well that's my rig now sans the fans, but i really wish i had larger ones because my computer gets really hot and loud when i play crysis.

i play games but i have 632 RAM only. but i have 2 friends who are mad to play games that are 8GB and more. they have ram of 2GB. they have also bought video memory card for some bux and they enjoy real graphics

I think the best configuration for the computer will be the new intel processors the e series which supports up to 3 GHz. of processing and if given with load can stretch to more than 4. It has more buss than older version which is better for faster computing. In my opinion processing plays a vital role in computer performance. Another thing that is really important for gaming is the graphics card. It better to go with nVidia Geforce which comes in many config. now a days. The best one will be gigabyte by Geforce which supports 512 mb of graphics with 64 bit of resolution. I think i need not tell more about this. Now comes the RAM. You can put 1 GHz. of RAM thats now a standard in any computer gaming arena. You can also upgrade it to 2 GHz or 4Ghz. according to performance you need. You can also use this computer configuration for using animation and graphic softwares such as Combustion, Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. Overall I think it will make a great GAMING machine.
