Wow, if you have that kind of money to burn might I suggest an Alienware PC? These are top of the line as far as gaming goes. Here is what I run mine on:

Proc: AMD Anthlon XP 3400
RAM: 1024 MB PC2700
Video: ATI Radeon X800 Pro w/ 256 DDR

Basically any processor at or over 3 GHz, a Gig of RAM, and any GeForce or Radeon card made in the last year and a half should get you by. If you do have money to burn, Alienware can't be beat IMO. Happy shopping!Smiley: grin

Don't buy from Alienware. There is nothing top of the line about them, that company is a complete joke. They sell you things the uninformed THINK are top of a the line for a greatly inflated price (like a $59 power cord). You pay a massive price premium for the Alienware name. The only true top of the line computers are custom built ones, but since you probably don't know how to build one you might want to check out something like http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=80302.

I don't know how much you want to spend, but I'd reccomend
Atlon 64 3500+
GeForce 6800 GT
1GB of memory
74 GB Western Digital Raptor hard drive
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum or Asus A8V motherboard

If you are not going to clone your own computer. Do not get an Alienware.

www.voodoo.ca are the best none cloned computers made. But that comes at a high cost as you will see from there prices.

Would recommend the Rage F2 (nothing better then a liquid cooling soloution) Even more so when you dont have to set it up yourself (if you dont know how to that is) and comes with a warranty
