Looking to buy a new Gaming PC

[zak2000]

how does this look? i am trying to buy a new gaming PC....im looking for power but cheap....I already have a 17 inch flat screen monitor and a printer...

is there anything better for cheaper? this seams pretty resonable:

this is clearly a dell, and will run about 2 grand.... i may also go with 4 gb of ram instead of 3....

i need some advise with this...its seams reasonable

Well simply said, if you are willing to go and build yourself you would end up saving a fair bit of money.

And although I am not sure about this, Physics cards aren't that amazing with todays game.

It's pretty solid, but you could probably build yourself for half.

also, what is the pros of having a duel graphics card? i dont understand and would like some answers as far as what i need for gaming

Dual graphic cards - For nVidia cards, called SLi (scalable link interface), and ATi - CrossFire, using 2/3 cards as one. You'd think you get double the speed n' everything wouldn't you? Nope. You'd get from a 10-33% increase in overall performance. Either way, you just can't add up the memory or speeds.

I'd go custom if I were you. 2 grand is just way overpriced.

Like everyone else said, I would build a gaming system myself for MUCH less money. I would also go for only one video card, as IMO going with SLi is a waste and money pit. Also, scrap the physics card. In today's games, it probably wouldn't do much in terms of helping your video card and cpu take a load off. Pretty sure most games don't employ the use of physics cards anyway.

When building your own system, not only does it cost a hell of a lost less, you also know all the parts in your system very well and upgrading your system later is effortless.
