I'm looking for a computer to buy.
It';s just going to be used for FS and I want the BEST of the BEST Performance with FS. What computer should I buy, or what should I look for in a computer to get these results?

The best of the best. Or you can build it better yourself for half the price, no kidding!

Buy the parts from
http://www.tigerdirect.com or http://www.newegg.com .

The entire machine.
http://www.alienware.com/main.aspx or http://www.falcon-nw.com

DO NOT EVER GO TO ALIENWARE!!!!!!!!!
You could end up paying over 12,000 Dollars for a PC there...and they're really not all that amazing. I looked, and I've got a better video card than ANY of those PC's.

www.dell.com

if you know your way around and are VERY INDEPENDANT with taking care of your PC, go here.

Recommend.

2.8Ghz Processor

at LEAST 1GB ram (I have 2...WOW)

NO INTEGRATED ANYTHING

at LEAST 9800XT (X800 Platinum here) Dell does not sell taht, you have to buy one www.compusa.com

They will shaft you...but they ship fast!

Get a optical mouse...they look cool!

BIG HARD DRIVE...YOU WILL DOWNLOAD MANY A ADD-ON PLANE BEFORE THE DAY IS DONE!!!
