Building a 2012 Gaming Computer

Want to build yourself a kick ass gaming machine, but not spend too much money? Well, for about a grand you can build yourself a decent gaming machine that will run any game today. It may not run them at the highest quality, but you do get to pretty good results. I know only because my current setup is not as good as this, but I can still play games at Medium settings.


For about $1,100, you get a decent gaming machine that will run most games in decent quality. You get a 3.1 GHz Quad-core AMD Athlon II, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card, a LG 23" 3D monitor, 8 GB of RAM, a 60 GB SDD, and a 500 GB HDD. You also get some basics like DVD drive, Windows 7 Home 64-bit, keyboard, mouse, case, etc.

Like I mentioned for the casual computer, this is just a starting point. Want SLI instead of a single card, switch it up. Don't want a 3D monitor, switch it up. Do what your heart desires.
