get that 2k quad core extreme processor. Then stare at it and pretend it is in a computer and you are playing on said computer.

Spoiled kids. I think I get about $150 of stuff from my parents, lol.

.... 2000$ is ridiculous.

Yeah I get like $150- $200 tops $2000 is ridiculous.

Well a friend of mine just got a new gaming computer and it was really nice. But get an Nvidia or gigabyte motherboard get an Intel quad core, 700 watt power supply, get maybe at least 3GB of RAM A 500GB HD, and since your limit is so high I would say a 9800GX2 or two 9800GTX's. Then to top it all off for a case I would definitely say any antec case is worthy of my approval.

My dad recently started getting a lot of money
Usually the largest present I would get would be $500-$700
Trust me, I was surprised when he told me this :o

I'm getting the parts for mine 1 by 1, and it's all gonna be $1,200.

Does it have something to do with those gigolo ads I've been seeing all of a sudden?

Maybe.

lol'd

Anyway, RW picked this out for me:



Anything here that could be cut down and not have much of an effect?

You could get a cheaper monitor if you looked around enough.
What's that total to? too lazy to calculate.

Are you rich? Cause $2000 is ridiculous. Try to save about $300 from the $2000 so you can buy a stuff load of games for the computer you get.
