Build it yourself. for gaming get a nvidia 6800le (can be unlocked and overclocked to a higher value card), two GB of low latency ram and look for a cheap but highly overclockable cpu (mine is a amd atlon 64 running at 2.30 GHZ from 1.8 GHZ). Everything else are just cosmetic

Buy the most that you can afford.  I would make sure that the computer has at least 512mb memory, 2ghz processor, 128mb video card and 160gb harddrive.

This really comes down to a question of "What do you want to do?".  A lot of my friends ask me for advice when they are goign to buy a new computer.  That is always the first question that I ask them.  If you're just going to use a computer for Internet, email, and other simple tasks, then you do not need a top-of-the-line system, and can go a few years on what you have.  If you are a hardcore gamer, then you obviously would need more processor, memory, a super graphics cards and sound card, and nice speakers.  Then you would probably want to upgrade your graphics card every year or so to keep up with the games.  The best way to "stay on top" of the ever changing technology landscape is to build a custom system (or have it built), and then everything will be modular.  Make sure that the motherboad will accept processors on up the line, for a CPU upgrade in the future.  This way, when you feel that your computer is too far behind, you can evaluate what you need to upgrade.

You can do pretty well buying components from http://www.newegg.com\n\nI buy all my computer parts from them.  If you need an operating system, or a monitor, that will add to your cost, but if not, you could get some decent components for $500 for sure.\n\nI consistently buy "very good" components and build computers for that kind of a price.  They are pretty darn nice systems, but not entirely top of the line.  Thing about top of the line components is  that they are only slighty better than the cheaper components, but cost exponentially more money.  Better deal to go with stuff that isn't quite the best thing out there if you ask me. \n\nSpend money where it is due, but don't spend extra money on things that don't really make that much difference in a computer.  In order to keep your costs down, buy an inexpensive computer case, standard cd or dvd drive, a reliable but inexpensive motherboard, etc.  The areas to spend money are the processor and the video card if you ask me.  Everything else is trivial compared to the kind of performance those items will give you.  Yes you can get certain performance boosts out of better RAM, Hard Drives, Motherboards, etc, but again, most of your boosts for gaming will come from your CPU and your Video Card.\n\nI recently bought a bunch of AMD Athlon 64 3400+ processors from newegg, which came as a combo deal with a motherboard for free.  The whole package with CPU and Motherboard was only $99.00.  There are definitelty deals to be found.\n\n~Kyle

Firstly your graphics card is integrated on your mother board, if you are a gamer, this is a big no no. \n\nA new graphics card will sort this nicely. YOu can pick up a cheap one that will play this game for about £30 ($50) from ebay. Or new for £45 ($60). Id advise buying more RAM too, its dirt cheap and worth more than gold for any computer system, especially gaming.\n\nEDIT : As your system is fairly low in general it is worth saving for a new one. If you are saving for a new one dont buy any more RAM, dell and other places give good memory on new computers. I'd still invest in the graphics card though to keep you goin while you save.

Dell or PC World... if you do go to PC World, the advent ones are cheap and cheerful... don't let them talk you into buying anything else for it though (unless its a bag and you want one)!!

the processor is REALLY slow, screen tiny, video card is junk, all you can do on it is go on the internet, music, but not at the same time....homework. the Ram is good, but i would just buy a desktop that's a lot better for a little more.\naround 600 bucks you can get a good one that can run music and the internet well, but games will be ok...

If you are a gamer i wouldn’t really suggest laptop.\nbut if you are really into it then i suggest you get the \nToshiba satellite series because it comes with Geforce 6600 and Geforce 7800 in a very affordable price.

all depends on the type of gaming your doing for one with all the bells and whistles 3-5 grand for a LAN party system 600-1800 dollars for a good gaming PC for home use 600-1500 if you want one built contact me and I'll go over some pricing or give you some better ideas on building your own

One of the most important things for playing games is the hard drive (big and very fast )and RAM (fast 2 Gigabyte)and of course the video card (the best you can get/can pay). After this you must have a very fast monitor 4 ms refresh no more. You can take AMD or Intel they both are dependable.

1. For playing world of warcraft an laptop, you can buy cheaper than that. What important is, world of warcraft requirement specification is fullfilled. You can look at the back of the gamebox for the requirement or just simply ask the storeman/woman or googling.\n\n2. What importants to be noted are graphic card, processor and memory requirements.\n\n3. Try HP dv5163 (had awesome specification for laptop gamers, Nvidia 7400 512mb dedicated graphic card!) for the price $ 1400\n\n4. Toshiba Tecra A6 with graphic card nvidia 256mb dedicated! (cause there were also tecra A6 with different specs) for the price $1500. (mine)\n\n5. Noted that 2 laptop above are with great memory graphic card and dedicated! not shared memory! For gamers, i really recommend this spec (minimum dedicated memory graphic card 128mb dedicated)\n\n6. For $1000 below, you can find a lot of laptop with 128mb memory graphic card shared that can play world of warcraft smoothly like acer aspire 5572, toshiba satellite m105, compaq presario v3027 & v3161, etc

Alien Ware has sweet laptops that has high performance, and can play music games and all kind of stuff. they have won so many awards.  U can get a small one for $700. The big one cost like $4000. this is on circuit city.com. u got shop around.

Well, it all depends on how much money you are willing to spend. \n\nA good, gaming, reasonably-priced graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 6600. =)\n\nThat will last you a decent time I think.\n\nOh, and it depends also what kind of slots you have on your computer. Be sure to buy a AGP graphics card if you have a slot in your motherboard for that, or buy a PCIe card if your computer is a bit newer and has a slot for it. =)

Try ubid.com if you are lucky, you should get a mid-end laptop under 1000.  Otherwise, try Fry's Electronics.  You're better off with 2 operating system for gamings, make 2 partitions and install 2 O/S on each of them.  98 is best for games, in my opinion.

First thing we would need to know - How much money are you willing to spend?\n\nI wouldn't worry about dual core's too much.  Sure they are extremely powerful but for just playing games you can get by just fine with just one processor.\n\nFor a gaming PC, you'll want:\n- Plenty of RAM.  Go for 2GB I'd say.\n- A graphics card with plenty of memory.\n- A good sound card.  5.1 surround sound at least\n- A good speed processor\n- A large hard drive.  Modern games can take up several GB's of space.\n\n\nI have a PC with a 3Ghz processor, 1GB of ram and a 512MB graphics card.  It can still handle most modern games (e.g. HL2) even though it's 2 years old.  So don't go too overboard :)

First, it depends on what tye of game you wish to play. If you planning on playing games that are featured on yahoo.com, or pogo.com something like that, any laptop will work. I would not use a laptop to play any graphic heavy game (possibly the alienware). If i were buying a computerr for a freshman in college, I would get a HP pavillion. They are very reliable and offer good tech support. I am a college student but I use a Mac, and they are not cheap. I had an HP laptop, and loved it.

Have a look here\nhttp://www.geek.com/htbc/glandre.htm\nAlso (no I don't work for them) Alienware has a good rep for top-notch gaming systems. (http://www.alienware.com).\n(Can I borrow a few grand? ;)
