Make sure it has some good RAM and a decent processor. The motherboard should also have a PCI-E slot. Oh yeah and be sure you know what your getting before you get it.. I wouldnt suggest buying from anyone cept alienware. Most other comp. companys usually rip you off whether its a crappy motherboard (glares at dell) or anything else like that.

If you cant afford alienware, i would say to learn more about computer parts, like what's compatible with what...like some comps have motherboards compatible with certain processors, video cards, etc.
Actually DONT BUY A NEW COMP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD SAY WAIT FOR DX10! WHEN DX10 COMES OUT THE BEST VIDEOCARDS OUT NOW WILL BE NOTHING!!!
I think they'll start introducing them around october or so.

I find your comment amusing considering Dell owns Alienware now
I would go with an ABS system, or an Alienware, or if you can swimg one of thier cheaper systems, Falcon-NW (they make the best gaming rigs, hands down)
