    Heya,

    AMD6000+ (or Q6600 Quadcore if you're married to Intel)
    4Gigs of DDR2
    Two XXXgig 7200rpm drives in RAID0
    Two HD4850's in Crossfire

    You can do it for about $1,000.

    And it will outperform that $2500 system you're thinking of buying.

    Cheers,

    Proteusbr unfortunately i dont know much about it myself, im just aware of the benefits. I would hate to give out bad advice so i suggest asking in the HDD forums, theres some really clever chaps over that way that can advise you much better than me

    Or buy ps3 for 400


    for about the same price as the ps3 you can build a pc system using a budget dual core (which you can overclock to about 3ghz+) and use a ati 4850. this will be about 3 - 5 times more powerful than the ps3 in gaming
