8800GTS

It gives you excellent performance for your money.

A 600 Watt power supply might be a bit overkill for that setup, but it'll leave you some room for upgrade.

I have an 8800GTS and a 520 Watt power supply and it works just fine, so I don't think you'll have any problems.

I posted this on the wrong forum earlier so I apologize if that caused any problems.

Here's a list of custom PC manufacturers and my opinions about each of them. Not sure if you already have this covered, but I hope it helps.

Here's my list of some of my favorite sites:

1. AvaDirect.com:

This is probably my favorite site to buy a gaming PC. I bought my current gaming PC from these guys. They have more parts to choose from than any other site I've seen and their prices are almost as low as building it yourself. Their customer support was beyond excellent and all their PCs come with a very good warrenty. They're customer satisfaction rating at resellerratings.com is currently 9.63/10, which is better than almost any other custom PC manufacturer out there.

2. ABS.com:

Another good place to get a gaming PC. I've never purchased anything from them but I've heard they have pretty good prices and customer service. Supposedly it's run by the same people who own Newegg.com.

3. VelocityMicro.com:

This site has been one of the best for several years before AvaDirect.com came along and surpassed them. The only reason they're 3rd place and not 2nd on my list is because I've been hearing that their customer service has had a few problems recently and that some of their customers have ended up with dead PCs. Still, if you aren't too worried about a few recent rumors then they're still a good choice.

Here's a list of sites that I would never buy from and I recommend avoiding them:

CyberPowerPC.com and IBuyPower.com:

Their prices may look good but these people are simply terrible when it comes to quality and customer service. I've heard manystories of dead PCs and crappy service about these two sites. I'm listing them together because their sites are so much alike except for their appearance that I'm almost sure they are owned by the same people. Only buy from these sites if your willing to take a risk, otherwise your better off looking elsewhere.

The full version of FRAPS isn't limited to 30 seconds and doesn't have a watermark on videos, but it costs $37.

There's also gamecam, but the free version doesn't record sound.

If you want something free then you're options really start to narrow. Your best alternative is to find out whether or not the game you are trying to record has its own built in method of recording.

I think it would be helpful if we post some good sites to buy a gaming PC for those who don't want to build one themselves. Post some places your really like and some that you recommend avoiding.

CyberPowerPC.com and IBuyPower.com:

Their prices may look good but these people are simply terrible when it comes to quality and customer service. I've heard so many stories of dead PCs and crappy service about these two sites that I would rather resort to getting an overpriced Dell then buy from them.I'm listing them together because their sites are so much alike except for their appearance that I'm almost sure they are owned by the same people. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!

Many PC gamers own consoles as well. The statistics probably overlap quite a bit.
