You can build a the top-of-the-line gaming computer for under $2,000.

Edit: If your looking to build, please shop @ newegg.com & tigerdirect.com ---- Best prices for quality equipment.

Build, defiantly build, works out so much cheaper. Plus you get to decide what you want and what part you spend the most money on. There are alot of guides on the net about putting together a new comp. Plus you have all of us to help. Also the motherboard instruction manual can be very useful.

Link does not work, you would need to screenshot it as the search results are only in your browser session, so we cant see them.

I assume you mean 3-4gb? Because 3-4mb wont get you very far these days :P


Anyway, in the past I would always have said build your own, but there are a LOT of decent spec machines for a very reasonable price now and it might be cheaper to get one of those and add some extra RAM / upgrade a few parts. My advice is to simply price things up and see what turns out to be cheapest.
