Even you can be hardcore
The most cost-effective way of attaining your dream computer is to build one. Granted, even though doing so is not terribly challenging, with plenty of reliable help on the Internet, not everyone is up to the task. You can still get some of the thrill without the hassle by custom ordering a new PC online. It beats going to a retail store and having to pick one off the shelf when it may not have all of the specs that you desire. So here at GameDaily, we decided to simplify things for you. We scoured the Internet, researched the components and compiled a list of everything you need to enter into the realm of PC gaming with enough horsepower to call yourself a hardcore PC gamer.

they should have another topic about how to make $1500
Dell is a ripoff. Buy all your components separately and you save about half the cost. I suggest www.newegg.com. All you need is a case, power supply, CPU, CPU fan, RAM, motherboard, HDD, ODD, thermal compound, an OS, and a video card. This all comes with instructions on how to install each individual part. Just remember to install the latest drivers. A good place to get ideas on what to buy is www.eggxpert.com in the forums.
