I've seen some high priced "gaming" computers and i've seen plenty of low to mid priced computers with good specs. is there very much differnece between a 1.8 and 2.8 processor in a practical sense? obviously one's faster than the other.
is dell a good buy? how about emachines i've heard they're trash. what's a great buy?

If ur gonna go gaming, get an AMD processor (3700 San Diego would be a good choice)
AMD performs better in gaming than most Intel processors. Keep in mind: 2.0 Amd > 2.0 Intel

Well the Dell XPS is pretty nice since they absorbed Alienware a while back, but I still would just build my own if I were you.

when you say custom do you mean just getting the guts of a computer and putting everythign in it yourself from the motherboard up? i'm not up to that, lol

You said so much without ever parting your lips.

But don't buy those advertised gaming machines from Dell and Alienware, they both would work but are overpriced. Build your own or go to a website that lets you pick out your own parts. And there is a huge noticable difference between a 1.8 and a 2.8. Also a 1.8 wont run many games nowadays.
