Anyone can build a gaming PC, but it is how you configure it that matters. Well i have been building regular PC as hubby for at lest 10 years and gaming PC for at least 6 years. I had built using ATI and Nvidia(CF or SLI) I had build more than 100 PCs 20 of those had been extreme gaming rigs since they cost a lot of money not every one has the money for them. When I build these EXTREME gaming PCs it usually involves water cooling (CPU, VGA, NB,SB) All kinds of configuration.I also Over clock the PC and save the config in the BIOS usually two. I make sure that it runs stable. There is no limit if you have a fat wallet.. When it is all set and done I try to keep the gaming part of the PC separate from the regular PC. In other words Two hard drives( Dual BOOT). For example the hard drive that is for gaming I use windows 7 premium 64. I installed all the games and just the necessary software to run the OS and no AV.Pretty bare. It is build and optimize for gaming only. Not for browsing the internet or viewing your email, etc. Not recommended for browsing the internet since there is no AV. On the second hard drive I install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with with all the works ( with whatever you want). It is a Dual Boot PC. Installed any other hard drive for storage as you need. When it is finish and you are playing games you will have no problems, no conflicts with software including AV that usually crash games, nothing, nada. I have been doing this for a while and it works for me and my clientele is happy and keep coming for more. Think of it as an XBOX 360 on steroids and with the wired or wireless controllers.

lol :nutkick:

If you want acceptance from me don't stroke your E-peen in my direction.... I don't need to see that.

Exactly the same here. I hate Norton because of all the other files it infects when you try to remove the bloody thing. I loved NOD32 as it was the only program that could rid me of a nasty MSN virus :( But for a FREEBIE prog, MSE is great :)

dont forget norton likes to block you from internet access until u completly remove it!
i have had to fix 4 pc's in the last fe months ith the same problem , NORTON no intenet when the stupid preloaded crap ran out.:laugh:

I did sort of understand what the dude was talking about, and I would hate it. Being able to use my computer for whatever else I want (watching HD movies, web browsing, organizing stuff, editing pictures, anything) is one of the big perks of being a PC gamer. It's great to not even having to get up or even switch monitor inputs in order to swap from gaming to doing something else that I love. With gaming on here I don't feel isolated from the world like I do when gaming on my PS3 upstairs. I don't think the concept of a barebones gaming PC would ever really catch on.
