Full system. From Motherboard to Sound Card. Could care less about the case. As long as it looks decent and it works.

So should I go for Quad or i7?
Note that this will need to last me for the next 2+ years. I haven't played anything newer than WC3 : FT. Other than Left 4 Dead.

Needs to at least ready for SC2 or Diablo 3 when it comes out playing at the minimal level, but tons of room to go faster.

Not really a gamer, but I have aloooooot of music and videos. I mainly use it to catch up on missed episodes and music archiving. I'll need tonnnnnns of space.
Dont need : Monitor, Sound system, keyboard/mouse.

Keep it basic, but enough to be awesome for whatever the fuck new game you crazy kids play now.


Will spend upto $1500. maybe a little more.
SC2, Diablo 3.......these 2 games are easy for hardware. "I think"
If you play something like "Crysis" kind of game, then, go for i7

and how much of space you need ? 20 TB ? like me ?

I would put money into Raid to protect valuable files.
