Hi maurino, I don't know much about computer. But, I think you can go to the computer sites such as www.dell.com or www.compaq.com and look at their selection. They have a lot of computer for games nowaday. So you should be able to figure it out.
best wishes

elow... Try alienware.com
They have the latest hardware and computer modifications.
The only problem is that it cost a lot of money.

A solid setup that would not run your pocket too deep, I'd say would be .. Liek an asus p5k or a variant of it they are good motherboards and cheap with great over clocking capabilities, For cpu I'd say an intel c2d or c2q the core 2 duo's are very good for gaming and a little cheaper than the quads, the quads are still good for gaming tho they run a little hotter you'll need good cooling. For video card get at least an 8800gts or something I don't think it matters which company you choose to buy the card from. as for ram I don't worry about ram all that much as long as it works, get at least 2gb of ram as you'll never really need to get more if you do, unless you move to 64bit OS and if you do go 64bit, the p5k can support up to 8gb of ram so you are good still my ram is from crucial but you might wanna try ozc they make good over clocking ram so its good for gaming. if you are doing rendering or video editing ... get the Quad core system it will do the job way faster as it has 4 cores.

i think you need fast CPU system, cause you will use your pc for games and rendering. I suggest you to use Abit motherboard, cause it's quite fast and stable. for Video card, you can use ATI HD chipset which has HD capability, it will add extra functionality for your computer. hope this will help you :)

hi! if your really eager to buy your new pc.. first is to choose among mother board brands @ www.motherboard.com then if you picked your choice just check the appropriate videocards, soundcard, processor and other peripherals that suite the best in your mother board... in videocard you need a lot of memory 512mb i suggest... video card choose 8 channels specified... ram 2gb i strongly suggest.. and dont forget to buy lcd monitor it rocks.... cool.. hehehe.. hope i manage to bring you some ideas...
