I need help building a computer. Not from scratch, but I want to be able to play with a 360 controller, and I want to have a smooth enough running computer to play APB when it comes out. Any help? I can't really tell you what type of computer I have but it is a dell. Will I neeed professional assisstance like the geek squad? And do they even do that stuff? I was originally going to play it on the 360 but... it doesn't look like it has hope.

You first need to find out what hardware you have: your processor make and speed, your ram amount, and your graphics card. All pcs are able to use the 360 controller. You just need to download the driver for it.

Ok, that's not too bad. I'd guess that you might be able to manage without replacing the CPU. The big question is still what video card you're using and how much RAM you have. Also I don't believe the requirements for APB are known yet so you won't know for sure what computer you'll need until that happens.
