First off. Im a hardcore gamer. Play Everquest and waiting for SWG. I wanted in my system around a 1.5 gig processor atleast . 512 ram and atleast a 64 geforce TI 4600. (This video card needs HARDware T/L technology). regular cd and burner. (Im a patient man so no top speed). A silent system is not nessary because the A/C here cools the downstairs mostly. So i have a very loud fan running in my room. So i hear it over the rig. Im looking at the provided AnandTech guide to a rig for gameing. The monitor seems a little steep. im looking to spend around a 200 dollar monitor. Gameing is all i do so thats what this rig will be used for. Just to give you some info. Here is the link to the rig im looking at.
