I’m not good at price researching, so I thought I’d ask you guys. The game I’m wanting to run well on medium graphics at least is Fallout 3. Do you guys know how much a really good gaming computer would cost?

    I have one of the best setups you can get at the minute.

    intel core i7 945, 8 core processor @ 2.66Ghz, overclocked to 4.2Ghz
    12gb DDR3RAM
    gigabyte EA58-UD5 motherboard
    ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB GDDR5 graphics x2 in crossfire.
    Antec twelve hundred Case.

    all this costs £1000 if you buy the components and build yourself.

    this will play anything at max now and in 4 years time.

    If you want fallout 3 running then id say £400 would be enough, not one of those prebuilt ones though, stores rip you off for performance.

    Hope this helps

    about $2,000 i think is enough for a good laptop – sony vaio type z, 2.8ghz, 6gb ram, 320gb 7200rpm. i know that it is made for business. but, i think you can run games in this laptop without any problem.

    or my desktop, i think it costs more than the laptop, got a quad core extreme 3.0ghz, 4gb ram, intel extreme mobo, nvidia 8800 gtx 768mb, 1.32tb harddrive, creative audigy sound cards. i knowi can do games with it, but i dont. i just like fast computers.

    I’m in the process of ordering pretty much all “top shelf” components to build my own gaming rig, the total price is right around $1400. That’s for the tower, it doesn’t include keyboard, mouse, monitor, or speakers (I already have all of those from my current system). This rig could not only play fallout 3 at maxed out settings flawlessly, it could probably solve pi :)
