| 477877 | 2006-08-12 04:16:00 | umm...you cant play any games without a monitor. I wonder if there is actually a game that does not need a monitor? It could be entirely reliant on sound... thats a cool idea eh? |

| 477879 | 2006-08-12 04:38:00 | A decent games PC. Well start with a CPU about $1500 Video card about the same Ram. at least $1000 You won't get much change from your $1,000. I have a $3,000 machine and I'd clas it as half decent. |

| 477880 | 2006-08-12 06:18:00 | What kind of CPU, graphic card and ram are those? I thought spending 700 dollars in total on the three components is enough for most games (given that all the other components in the PC are reasonable). A decent games PC. Well start with a CPU about $1500 Video card about the same Ram. at least $1000 You won't get much change from your $1,000. I have a $3,000 machine and I'd clas it as half decent. |

| 477882 | 2006-08-12 08:08:00 | I say so as well, 2.5k is more than enough to get a computer that will play any game out there at high/medium high settings and fwiw straitjacket, my sys gets about 12.5k in 3dmark 05 My definition of a mid range games pc is what you just described...top end is anything that can play oblivion/quake 4/ghost recon advanced warfighter and those games that have such beautiful eye candy at MAX detail available ie ULTRA.....but each to their own I guess |

| 477883 | 2006-08-12 23:42:00 | The way I see it, is if he wants a brand new, customised performance gaming system on the cheap, all parts can be really budget except RAM, graphics and CPU. Eg: Case and PSU: $100 Mobo: $100 DVD: $80 Video: $800 RAM: $300 Headphones: $50 Hard drive: $120 CPU: $350 Mouse, keyboard, monitor and opsys all from previous system. Under two grand. With a bit of compromise the price could get pretty close to a grand. |

| 477884 | 2006-08-12 23:45:00 | unfortunately you have forgotten a cpu greg, and for a decent gaming cpu you are looking at around 250-300. Plus for a 1k gaming system I dont think is really wise to be putting 800 into a video card, a $300 card will do just fine, and at a stretch a $500 7900gt will play most anything at high |

And yeah I agree with you about the 1K system, which is why I said "with a bit of compromise". |
