How much do i need to spend to have a great gaming pc?
i already have a monitor so no need for that, just the rig.
sub question: how often will i need to upgrade to keep my system viable for new and top end games?
Answer
Building yourself with parts from NewEgg or Tigerdirect- usually it costs about $1300 to build something great for the more demanding games. A bit more if you want to build using the absolutely latest technology (an i7 based system) because being brand new, that stuff is in demand and overpriced.
You can go higher, but you're buying much smaller performance boosts for the dollar past the $1500 mark.
Figure to upgrade the video card yearly, other components once every couple of years.
To build a system that's great for 95% of games but only decent for the highest-end titles, the cost is much less- about $800.

How to stop clicking out of PC games?

When im playing a PC game, like Fallout 3 or Oblivion, in full screen mode my mouse will be active on the Desk top. For example, when i keep Sliding the mouse to the left it will eventually show up on the left side of the monitor and if i click it will minimize the game and sometimes make it so i cant get back in. any help would be great!

You know, the only time I can see this happening is if you have the game in Windows mode, but then click the square box in the upper right hand corner to make it full screen. If this is the case, you aren't actually playing it in "full-screen" mode, but windows mode using the full screen. I'd check the game options and make sure you indeed have it in full screen mode. The only way you'd know your mouse is active on desktop is if you actually saw desktop. And if you see desktop, that means you aren't using full screen mode.
When you are in windows mode (using full screen), if you click on the border surrounding the game, it's very well possible to get kicked out of the game. Adjust the settings by unclicking "windowed" view when running the game and it will run the game in Full screen mode where you can't be popped to desktop simply by clicking the edges of the screen. Good luck, hope this helps!
