    Are you buidling it your self (or getting a buddy to build it)? Or are you looking at a system already built (ie HP, Compaq, Sony, Dell)?

    If building your self you can get a pretty highend system for $1400 now a days..

    I've been pricing a new gaming pc. I've got the HD's and vid card, but everything else came out to $1100

    AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (Venice)
    MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM
    pqi TURBO 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Samsung TCCD Dual Channel Kit System Memory
    TURBO-COOL 510 DELUXE
    Thermaltake SHARK
    Arctic Cooling CPU fan

    That right there is $1104. Add a 6800 GT and a HD your at around $1500

    I will have to agree with the above two post's.. Why did you even bother to ask at all, and if your friend is so good and trusted then why the hell didn't he tell you what to get? Maybe he isn't as good as you say? If he builds computers then he will know what is good for you..

    Cheers

    I got a chimpanzee at the local zoo to build mine! He fixes my car too!
    Quite a talented, hairy little chap.

    I'll get him to drop by when he has a spare afternoon BB.....just as long as you have a good supply of bananas. Otherwise he goes "ape shit". GEDDITT?

    That's as good as it gets, I'm afraid!
