    For people who know about computers.

    OK so here's the thing. I go over my girlfriend's house and she has a game there called Titan Quest (I'm sure you've heard of it) and it's the only computer game she owns. And it's friggin' sweet! So, I go and I buy this game from Gamestop and take it home. Little did I know my POS computer won't be able to run it. So, I decided to embark on a mission to build a kick ass gaming computer from individual parts. I drove to Best Buy and here's what I have come up with:

    Antec 900 watt Case 149.99
    8GB RAM 399.99
    Vista Ultimate 399.99
    MSI SLI Motherboard 149.99
    LG 20 x DVD SATA 49.99
    GeFORCE 8800 GTS OC 640MB 499.99
    RaptorX 150GB Hard Drive (to start with) 199.99
    Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 series 274.99
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Card 99.99
    Keyboard + Mouse About 160.00
    Logitech Speakrs 5.1 X540 95.00


    1.) Is there anything else I need.

    I didn't know if this was the right section to post this in but, I couldn't' find any other place suitable unless I'm retarded.

    Chitchat or General Video Games probably would have been better choices.

    All I can contribute to this decision is that what you need is to stay the hell away from Vista for at least 2 more years until they fix the gaping holes and bugs.

      Yeah but I was told that XP can't handle more than 2GB of Ram I think? And I was told that Vista premium can hold up to 4GB and Vista Ultimate can hold up to 8GB, so I went with Ultimate. And the reason I ahve decided to do this project is that I have decided to give up on these next-gen systems and start playing PC games because they've always been a lot better and much higher in quality.
