There is a common misconception that you have to take out a second mortgage on your house if you want to get a computer that will run all of the latest and greatest games. I don't know who started the rumor that you need to spend $3000 to get a gaming computer. The truth is, if you are smart about it, you can easily afford to get a high-end gaming computer. Here are a few simple rules to follow to put a gaming computer within reach.

Good advice, but I'm sure most of us with our head screwed on know what we're doing anyway. :)

Dont but the newst hardware, you must be joking! ;)

I think another misconception is that "gaming computer" means fastest, bestest newest. I think that my PC which is not bank breaking in any way (see sig) would pass as a gaming machine. For me anyway, those rules are more like common sense than anything.

Or we could get a PS 3...but mind you I would not mind one of those 4 way 4 core setups on them AMD processors that are coming out in 2007 and whatever 4 way SLI like setups that will be out by then.....
