Hello TTG, After some thought, I have decided to start saving up to build a Gaming Desktop. I was wondering if I could get some tips on good hardware or just building a desktop that can play many games on decent settings. Id have to say I will have a budget of about 2,000-2,500 dollars. Everything helps! Thanks TTG!

for 2,500.

You should have no problem playing most games or all on high settings if chosen the correct specs.

I have an iMac 2011. And I can play most games on high settings with no or little lag.

Only game I have ever encountered problems with is GTA IV and Crysis 2 on Very high settings.

So your PC should be awesome. Hope someone whom knows more than me about specs helps you

2 6950s

Fancy 1155 board

SATA III SSD

Seasonic X Series 750 watt PSU

Asus VE245H 24 inch monitor

Steelseries 6GV2 Mechanical keyboard

Logitech G9X

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 Speakers

Cheap DVD burner

With that budget you can get 2 6970's or some GTX 580(s).

R00t_b33r made quite a good list. Follow that.
