Hi I am currently trying to build a new gaming computer and I'm on a budget. I picked some hardware out and it turned out that they were a little to costly. I was wondering if someone could assist me on building the computer. If you have any input such as alternate hardware I could buy that will get the job done I would appreciate it. I kinda went blindly into this thinking it wouldn't cost over $2,000.00 but it did. I'm trying to keep $2,000.00 my maximum but I'm willing to go over several hundred. I went to www.newegg.com and it came to be about $2,700.00 not including software. I'm also wanting to use Vista as my operating system.
