I refuse to use an AMD processor. I'm not sure about gaming, but using these under an NT-based OS can cause some serious instability. I'm sure I can find an article describing its conflicts with DirectX. Get a P4, you'll thank me later.

I build PCs for a living, but to be honest with the prices of PCs by DELL being so low now your best bet is to go that route. I could put something together for you but I specialize in high end gamer systems. Usually upwards of 2 or 3 grand which includes the monitor. If you want e-mail me the specs you were given and I will put together the right package, since you are a walker I won't charge you the build costs, just shipping and handleing. My email is spazz1@comcast.net
