    i7 processor
    8 gigs of ram
    500 gb hd
    decent video card for games.
    22"+ monitor

    Have you guys seen any good deals recently?

    When I purchased my desktop with i7 core, I got 6gb ram (this was back in Nov 2009)

    Because I read that i7 processors only uses ram by 3s... 3gb/6gb/9gb

    Anyway, I have nothing really to add, check out ibuypower or cyberpowerpc for customizable desktops for gaming... here's a tip, when buying from them, make sure the PSU is a name brand (corsair, etc)... because if you choose generic 650w or generic 800w, they'll give you something with their sticker on the side... which i'm 100% sure isn't the same output you paid for
