gaming pc parts list
I need a list of computer parts for a gaming pc that i will build from the groud up?

Also what operating system do you recommend? What Graphics Card to?

What’s your projected budget for this PC?

The Graphics card is the most important component of a gaming PC- the GPU has about twice the impact of the CPU on gaming performance, so you should spend roughly 50% more on your graphics card than your CPU.

Also, clockspeed is more important than number of cores when choosing CPUs for gaming. Higher-clocked dual-core processors perform better than slower-clocked Quad-cores. For about the same price, the 3.0Ghz Core 2 Duo E8400 beats the 2.4Ghz Core 2 Quad Q6600 hand-down.

And finally.. invest a few bucks more into a quality power supply from a top-rated brand, like Corsair. Cheap psus can fry lots of other components when they die, so get one that won’t

For today’s high-end DX10 games, you need Vista (unfortunately). There is no DX10 support in Windows XP. Of course Windows 7 is around the corner but that doesn’t help if you’re building now.

Here’s a list of the best graphics cards for every price range:

The Radeon 4830 is the best card for $100, but without knowing your budget it’s impossible to recommend a specific card.

And here’s a list of parts for building $625 gaming PC and $1250 gaming PC, also from the Tom’s Hardware review site. Have fun!
