Hi, thanks for reading my thread! I am buying a new computer, for gaming. I am very interested in computer technologies, however, I don't know a lot yet. I am trying to learn my best. Anyway, as I said just a few seconds ago, I am buying a new computer for gaming. I am buying from a site called ibuypower.com. I heard it was a pretty good site, and I trust them. However, I am not sure how I should set up my computer. Basically I am asking, will this configuration be good for my gaming needs? (I want to play games, such as crysis 2 and other shooters, aswell as strategy games such as Total war, on high settings. If this setup won't let me do that, what will?) Here is the setup now-Gamer Mage D295
