Just tell me what you recommend, max processors i would go is 4. I just want a powerful enough computer to support games like minecraft, starcraft 2, portal, nothing big like black ops or mw2. And can u guys estimate the total cost for me? Like recommend me the pieces i should get so just give me a list of wat you recommend. Thanks ;) also at end can you tell me the specs at the end if u can?


Answer
either clay is a fking reatard or he is the one who made the site(which i guess that still makes his a retard lol).

Not only is this information HORRIDLY outdated, its just wrong on a lot of things. What they were saying, i 1/2 expected them to say "for a gaming video card get the one with the most memory", but they didnt go into too much detail on video cards other then AGP is the standard...

The only thing they got semi ok on that site was a good recommended build. similar to mine but they dont include the OS, and they recommend a 775W psu.... wtf??? are you fking kidding me? what are you planning quad sli???

it really depends on your budget. You can usually get the best priced computers by building yourself at http://newegg.com and http://tigerdirect.com (new egg is much better, but you never know when tiger might have a good sale). its only for people in the US. (newegg.ca and tigerdrect.ca for canada).
the thing i kind of dont like about tiger is they list the price AFTER mail in rebate.... not only do those take months they are hard to actually get back. newegg lists the price you pay and in smaller print says $X after mail in rebate.

Anyway you can either completely put one together yourself, id say something like this:
amd phenom II x4 955
full atx AM3 socket motherboard
4gb of ddr3 dual channel ram
ati 5770 graphics card
400-500W psu, 80+ certified
500gb-1tb 7200rpm sata II 32-64mb cache HDD
any sata dvd burner
antec/coolmaster/nzxt/thermalwate/rosewill mid atx case
windows 7 home 64bit

id say that will cost you around $500-650 depending on what you get.

The other alternative is buy a premade one, usually the premade ones for under $600 arnt too bad.
in order from worst>best
$549: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227314
$569: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229223
$599(but $50 off promo! until 5/2): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103361

Really it would be hard to beat the prices of these computers building your own, especially the acer, $550 for that is insane..

How to stop my computer from shutting down when I play sims 3?

Q. Hi There :)
I have sims 3 installed on my computer and the first couple times I played it was fine, but now whenever I play it randomly shuts down on me and I have to wait like 5 Minutes before I can turn on my computer again.
Is there some way I can prevent from this happening again?
P.S I have a Windows XP Desktop Computer.


Answer
It may be your graphics card. I had the same problem with my computer (although a Windows Vista) but if you're graphics card is too old it may not support the game. Even with my game it had graphics issues and eventually started crashing my computer. I had to update my graphics card online. There are ones that you can buy but it will be around $50 cheapest.

to see if you have the right graphics card:
check the back of the game case and look for the cards that support it.
and go to Run, type in dxdiag and click ok, click Display Tab (on top of the window that opens) and it should say which card you have under Device :)
