Okay, time for another computer...

[GoodOdor]

With Diablo3 coming, now is a good opportunity to get a gaming desktop.
I need your help guys - not very good with computers, and I got lots of good of advice when buying my laptop(which has been fine, it's just not a gaming laptop).
Basically, I'm really looking for a computer that will run Diablo3 well, but if it will be good enough to run other games I never got to play(like Skyrim), that would be an added bonus.

I'm not set in my budget yet, but honestly anywhere from 500-1000$ is probably around my price range. Also would need advice for good screens to buy.

Thanks.

I don't know what overclocking means

Just assume I'm to computers what Lefty is to comedy - keep it simple please.

do you think you can put a computer together from components?

I'm afraid not, I'm honestly pretty clueless when it comes to this shit, would probably have to be a ready made one

P.S found your suggestion for the 600$ gaming laptop, looks pretty nice so I"m looking it over now.

Tbh that's why I said a desktop, I woulden't mind a laptop but I figured a desktop will be cheaper for what I need - plus I already got a decent laptop for work/surfing.

imo u could go for ivy bridge, its only a 10-20bucks more expensive over sandybridge tech gear....

goto craiglist look for someone already selling a gaming rig, for $1k you should find something pretty nice

look for something with I5 processor or better 6-8gigs of ram should be fine and a gtx560 TI and you will have a fairly robust gaming rig.

What's the best video memory? I would think for a modern gaming rig, that's important. Is there something better than GDDR5 now? Maybe 2 or 4 gigs dedicated?

Kind of guessing here. Haven't been keeping up.

I'm curious. What's the difference?

Never mind...

easy to look up.

I was assuming it was a memory management thing. I have an old computer that used a "bridge" to do DMA switching between multiple coprocessors and multiple memory.

I'm looking for a desktop though, one with a good video card.

My Budget has gone up to around 800-1200 though, I'll probably be making my call tomorrow, gonna check Amazon/Newegg today and choose.
