1. Is this a good set-up for a gaming PC? its awesome ....out of the world ...
2. if it is a computer it is good but buy a mouse. if it was a laptop i would not buy it as laptops have lower performace
3. Not bad. Here is my computer wish list. I'm getting my parts from Newegg.com and building it myself. I'm going dual core because nothing uses a quad core yet. I already have a copy of Win XP Pro so I'm going to use that. I plan on using it as a gaming and home theater computer. Here is my wish list.
