What do you have already? HDD? DVD drive? OS? Monitor? X360PS3AMD05

no offence but you made over 5+ topics about building computers in the past 2 days. I am 100% the computer you picke don the other topic is very good for its price. It will play Cod4 on High for sure. Why make this topic again?Berserker1_5

Build. Build. And, build. Elann2008

You don't already have XP? Well then get Vista x64, why even buy that cooler? Use the stock one, you can get a decent X2 for about $60, then OC it. X360PS3AMD05

Well, my pc is kind of dead. I was wondering, this Christmas should I buy a new premade PC (alienware, etc) or build? The chances of me building are minimal to non-existant, because I have nobody to build it for me and I'm not allowed to order online unless I find someone.

I play many games, and I use editing software like Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects. Would anybody recommend a good, high-end recent PC that's around 1500 to 1700$?
