Recommend me some PC hardware good enough to play PC games...

I admit i am not the IT sort of guy. I am planning to get a PC next month mainly because of gaming so i need help in deciding the right hardware to play the latest PC games. Video cards, processor, graphics card etc etc etc....

Budget? Just a tower or do you need anything else?

Also if you say your not an "IT sort of guy" therefore not comfortable with installing hardware components, they it would be best for you to buy a prebuilt gaming machine, rather than build it. Chris_53

No. He should build it himself. He's a man and real men build their own machines. Besides, it's not difficult; I built my first rig all on my own and it works just fine. Also, he'll save money if he builds it himself. Hey, Op. Since money is not a concern, I'll select some parts for you. How's that sound?

Be a man! Forge your parts deep in the depths of Mordor with only the finest rare metals found in China (Unless you live in Japan where you may have difficulty obtaining these fine metals).
