Ok, thanks guys. I'll check back with you when I learn a little more. But I'm starting to think I can build it myself. With a s### load of help from you people that is.:D

Robbo, what do you mean perfecting the build?

I've learned more from your posts than anywhere else. Thank you! Looks like I'll prob. go with ibuypower or like site, if better. But I'm getting fuzzy on some of the parts...MOBO, graphics card and should I get dual, so on and so fourth. If you could recommend some more insight please keep it coming. And I decided on the 4,000 budget cuz I want the rig to be relevant for at least 6 months!!!:P

I'll have to look into the ibuypower site. Like I said I'm clueless when it comes to this but I'm trying to do as much research as possible.

Ok, if I was gonna go the part rout and build it myself. How hard is it to do? And in the 4,000 range what would you suggest?

Ok heres the deal. I'm looking into getting my first gaming rig. So say I'm gonna spend 4,000 and I'm not interested in getting parts and putting it together myself. And if I go to say Cyberpower the only thing I would think to do is pick the highest priced stuff. So If any of you know a better combo I'll most likely go with an Alienware Area 51 ALX. I so dont know what I'm doing.:|

Great info guys. Thank you very much.

And lets just say I'll spend up to 600 bucks on the card/cards.

^ so that would be dual cards then, right? Ok it doesnt have to be ATI, thats just one I remembered. I just want to get a good card, whatever brand it is. And I've gotten conflicting answers on to dual or not to dual. That is the question.;) So to recap which card and should I get dual?

Is the Radeon HD 5970 the way to go?
