Assembling a wicked gaming machine can be a challenging task, but realistically the most important device is the videocard - so focus your efforts there. Other parts like the processor, memory and motherboard must be up to snuff as well, but definitely get the fastest videocard you can and skimp elsewhere!

After all, there's nothing more frustrating than a PC choking when it matters most. Well, perhaps trying to explain what happened to squad mates or fellow clan members is worse but you get the idea... While it's true that a fast gaming computer will not make you a better gamer, it can give you a definitive edge when playing against others of a similar skill level with a lesser system.

You're lucky, right now ATi and nVIDIA both have competitive videocard GPUs available which mean prices on value videocards are at a low point. In the nVIDIA camp, the GeForce 7900GT is easily one of the most attractive cores on the market; not only is it lightning fast, at around $300 US it's an absolute steal.
