It has been a while since IÂ’ve built computers. I havenÂ’t kept up with all the up to date technology. I need to some advice on a good gaming computer to play Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2, Counter-strike source etcÂ… I want to be able to play them w/no lag what so ever. I donÂ’t need a super computer, just something that can enable me to play those effectively.
This is what IÂ’ve come up with from reading different post and looking at newegg.com. Help me out here.
