Prebuilt?


Custom PC: To have something that will max everything @1080p (except for crap like GTA IV) you're probably looking at ~$1,200 USD.

Just the tower. Note: That's for a custom PC. If you're talking about prebuilts, the price would be much higher.

Like $2000 possibly more simply cause there is like select games like metro 2033 and arma 2 that are so incredibly taxing to max it out at the highest settings its not worth it. if you don't care about maxing out those to games and can settle for a pc that will max 99.9% of the pc games available today I'd say a $1000 for prebuilt and $650-$700 if you build it yourself.
