I would like to buy a gaming desktop. I have about $2500 to spend, a little more or less is ok. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Please recommned any major brands or not too popular brands that you trust. I will list what I want out of the computer below. Thanks for any recommnedations. Note: I will not build a PC as I prefer customer service and warranties that computer companies give that cover the computer and everything inside of it.

Features I want:

-most importantly , in addition to beign a great gaming computer, it has to run programs like photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, video editing software, perfectly

-Nvidia EVGA or BFG 285 GTX or 295 GTX (graphics card must have 2 DVI, and an hdmi port or at least HDMI adapter for video and sound, i think 285 and 295 has this, phys-X, and 3D support.) I do not know if ATI has physx or 3D if they do I would consider getting one of there cards.

-if I can afford it I will get SLI so a good power supply that can support one or 2 of these cards would help

-6 or 8 gigs of ddr3 ram

-quad core 2.4 ghz or higher, i am guessing i should get newer i7 quad core

-Cd/ dvd drive with cd/ dvd burner decent burning speeds

-minimal 7200 or preferably a 10000 RPM hard drive with at least 150 GB

-windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

- if it is a computer with all sorts of lights on the outside i want the ability to turn them off.

i found this alienware which seems close to what i want, any thoughts please see below, this came out to $2,448

Please, allow me. I have the 2233RZ and can vouche for it. I've had it since last year and games are mind blowing on this thing. I'll be honest I haven't used the 3D feature yet, since I'm not really into it. I got this monitor for the 120hz and all my fps games are as fluid as my CRTs ever were. That was the main reason why I didn't want to 'downgrade' to an lcd. But this is no downgrade.

For reference, I also have Samsung's flagship tv now.. the 46B8500 which is a locally dimmed LED hdtv that can compete nicely with the Pioneer plasmas (can't say that often). My 2233RZ has about as good picture quality in games as my hdtv. The contrast is excellent and again.. the framerate on this monitor provided you have strong enough hardware has left a permanent smile on my face.

Movies, such as blu-rays, on the other hand aren't very good with this monitor. They all turn out grainy no matter what you try. But the 2233RZ is a gaming monitor and I would suggest perhaps the greatest gaming 22" gaming monitor. This is coming from someone that gamed hardcore on a 24" Sony FW900 CRT so to say I'm demanding is an understatement.

Hope this helped!

thank you for your input. So from my understanding, based on what you said, the monitor works perfectly as a gaming monitor without the 3D technology running? Also you mentioned blurays don't look great on it, i don't really care about that however, how does streaming video like hulu.com, gametrailers.com, and gamespot.com look? How does non bluray video look?

On a final note, i am a web designer and graphic designer,, i use adobe photoshop, dreamweaver, illustrator, flash, etc... will this monitor portray what I do and the colors accurately with that software? thanks for your further help.

[QUOTE="josh5316"]

yes you are wrong

polishkid99

well if you know so much, why can't you make your own decision?

i wanted to know if anyone had personal experience with the 3D monitors. the fact that i know 22 inch monitors can work with 3D does not mean that i know "so much" as you say. congrajulations on going into forums and writing pointless garbage, is that how you reached level 23 on gamespot?

Those symbols don't always represent bounty boards, it was the same in the vanilla game. They recommend things that change your access to the area aswell, such as roadblocks that you need to unblock for a mission, which I believe is what you are encountering here.kieranb2000

So why does the map say those symbols mean Bounty Board? Also, what is the "vanilla game"?
