Hello all,
Its my birthday and I have decided I need a kick ass gaming computer because I deserve it. I want this thing to play lots of awesome high end games such as Crysis, Bioshock, fallout 3, and far cry 2.
I am confident that if if this computer can do a decent job with these games it should be able to handle anything else I could ask of it.
I currently have a monitor with a native resolution of 1920X1080.
Here's a shopping list I put together on newegg. |Please let me know what you think.
