People always talk about having a gaming computer but I never got what they meant. Isnt that what a xbox or playstation is for? Or are there just certain games that they play on the computer. What are some good ones and how much do they cost?

Good PC games now a days cost between $50-$65. A gaming computer is pretty much an expensive performance computer. By performance I mean 3GB+ of RAM (1066MHz+), a good Dual core or Quad core processor (3.0GHz+), and preferably a SLI (nvidia) or Crossfire (ati) setup. A hardcore PC gamer would hack/strip their Windows from everything that could slow it down and take away the benefits of hardcore gaming.

Above that, a hardcore PC gamer would go all out by purchasing 3-4 20"+ monitors
