$1,500 Gaming Desktop Computer
My goal was to build a gaming computer that can play almost all games at the high/highest quality. I am sharing this build because i think it can also be used to build a maxed out gaming desktop computer by upgrading the processor and graphics card to a better model or buying two or three of the same model.

Hey dude! Nice post and blog! I have been looking into getting a new computer for gaming as well. I was looking to keep my price pretty low… something around 750. check this out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229135
Its not the top of the line but i should play the games out right now and the ones coming out for the next year. Then … after that… i can just buy a new one for 2012+ games..
