    New PC ~1500, mostly gaming

    Im looking for a new PC, mostly used for gaming (FPS, Diablo 3 :eek:, etc....). I do run VMs with different OS's but they are up on demand rather than running in a client/server fashion. I have no issues with AMD or Intel; I dont look for bleeding edge as I dont see the value in dollars vs...
