Hello, all!

I am looking for a really good Gaming PC, so please share any trusted website/business in selling Gaming PC's that you know! Hopefully, we'll try to keep it $13,000 and under won't we? It has been difficult to choose, because there are many good Gaming PC's out there but I need to narrow it down to one.

I love to have alot of RAM, 3 Crossfire slots, and a big hd. Here's some choices I have already figured

16 GB RAM (Prefferably Kingston)

1 or 2- 1 TB Hard Drive

Crossfire- Radeon HD 4870 X2 2 GB/ nVidia 8800 GT/nVidia Geforce 280 GTX 1 GB

Also, Windows XP , Vista was a very bad mistake!

A friend recommended me this site, I checked out the Colossus and when I customized it was $12,221.00, I got the best of the best. If you can find anything better than this, please share a link!

Only get that if really want to waste, and I emphasize WASTE!, a lot of money.

What do you want to do with this PC, just game?

For some reason I suspect a joke topic.

There you go, now you just need a res for the loop. And disregard that 160 gig. it was a mistake and im too lazy to retake the print screen. But honestly this is a ******* waste of money. It will be obselete in 8 months. Be smart, buy a $1000 Rig, and invest the rest.

Then get it.

Just realize that you could get a PC for a couple thousand, that would be almost as good as that at gaming. I mean 2 quad core CPU's, why??? You do realize no game out there can utilize a single quad core fully right, and no game at all can use two separate CPU's.

That PC is a joke for gaming. Now it would be nice if you were going to use that PC at a business to make money, but for games, no way.

Have you come to your senses and want a build for $2500ish or still "keep it under $13,000"?

Ummm... I play Crysis at ULTRA quality settings and smooth framerate with an Athlon X2 5000+ (OC to 3.02 GHz stock, $66), 2GB DDR2 RAM ($39) and a PNY 8800GT ($110). lol. I wouldnt recomment anything more than 2 8800GT's or a 4870 at the moment. seriously. If you wanna keep up with games in the future theres this thing that you can do with PC's called upgrading...

If you really have that much money to blow, buy a the FASTEST Intel dual-core CPU you can find and an insane cooler for it. Overclock it as much as possible (well over 4.2GHz per core) and then buy 2 4870x2's. You really won't get better performance than that for games no matter how much you spend.
