It's also important to take into account what you intend to do with it now, and in the future, and how long you want the computer to laptop.

In short, processor selection is important.

RAM-wise, If you're gonna be running Vista, 3GB minimum I'd say, if 64 bit, I'd say go with 5GB.

Try dual video cards, it'll last you alot longer than just one in terms of upgrades. Of course if you're not going to be gaming, then it really doesn't matter that much.

Make sure everything is well cooled. Dual cards heat up quickly.

Sound cards aren't as important, I mean, they're important, but the selection really doesn't matter unless you use alot of music making/editing software.

Monitor selection, is surprisingly, important. You don't want to have spiffy hardware, and then be bogged down by a crappy monitor.

Quite possibly the most important part is the casing. Sure you could use one from your older comptuers, but where's the joy in that?

i say if you run a system thats capable of running dual GFX and you just run a single card (a good one mind you) then you will be able to add the 2nd card in later


as far as a case, big fans, good airflow is what you want

processors i lean towards AMD for their cooler running nature

as far as sound cards go, forget it, just get a motherboard with good features, most motherboards come with digital outputs with 6-8 analog outputs as well as good software and sound GREAT

and if your gonna run more than 3 gigs of ram you will need 64 bit windows

and if you want to run more than 4 gigs you will need a motherboard that can do more than 4

you dont have to worry horribly about storage, enough for your games +25% free space is good, you can always add more or get an external

hardrives ofcourse you can pickup a 200-250gig for around 50so ya

also VERY important, possibly the MOST important part of a system is the power supply

you want one that is reliable, one that can supply power to your GFX cards and components without being taxed, even under full load

the rule is, if your power supply goes, chances are its going to take something else with it

because major, what are you gonna do with it untill starcraft 2?


answer: next to nothing

but, if you wait for 2 months, guess what, prices drop

prices

drop

you get more for your money

of course prices will continue to drop, but at least then you get the most for your money, RIGHT when you need it
