Thanks for all the advice. I was expecting that building my own PC would be more expensive than buying one off of the shelf. I've been doing some research and the GeForce GTX 260 and Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 are looking good to me. Thoughts?
I really like playing games on my laptop, but frankly I'm getting a little fed up with my ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 card. My parents bought me this computer for school and I'm thinking about getting a better option to keep at home. The main problem I have is that I have no idea what a good machine is. I don't know the difference from one graphics card or motherboard from the next. I was hoping I could get a little advice on what to purchase. I don't have any preferences except I want to spend under or around $1000. I know really good PCs costs a couple thousand but thats not what I'm looking for. Im just looking for something to give me good, not great, results. I've been looking at three models so far, but suggest others if these are no good. Alienware Aurora Dell XPS 625 Ultra Optimized Gaming PC (This is the one Crysis Warhead was built around). Once again feel free to point out a better PC. Oh, and the main game I'm interested in is Left 4 Dead.
