good thing i know what i want:

MB: X58 (INTEL chipset)
CPU: Intel Core i7 2.66 (920)
Physical RAM: between 4GB to 6 GB DDR3
Graphics card: NVIDIA GT 260 with 1 GB GDDR3 (or ATI HD 5000 series)
HDD: 1 TB
Disc Drive: DVD-RAM 22x light scribe (LG)
Screen: LCD preferably Samsung 17’’
PSU: 500W

Note: This is a general view of the specs if other products which can be replaced but with same performance it is OK. Also I will update these specs over time so this pc won’t rot.

get a bigger Screen it will take you off your PS3, the 260 is capable of handling a 1920x1200 resolution
get 6Gb instead of 4Gb, after all you're in a triple channeled system, so get 3x2gb

Re: Post your System's Specs

I dont want to kill my GPU so I'll not use the full supported resolution+ my parents may by a 40" HDTV so i wont need a bigger screen.
So triple channel is like having 2GB while they are to the OS like 6GB or it is only a bandwidth increase?

Re: Post your System's Specs

DDR2 is dual channel that's why people used to say : use 2 ram slots and not 2 it works better
well DD3 is triple channel and using 3 slots makes it better to sync and reduces latency.
PS: a TV screen can never get a close to a computer resolution. my 24 inch has a 1920x 1200 resolution and the 50 inch samsung series 6 we have can go up to 1300 smth (dv cable)

Re: Post your System's Specs

For that GPU kareem i recommend nothing less than 22inch LCD.
17 is way too small and you wont be using your GPU's full capabilities. Plus you will be able to connect your ps3 to your LCD (if it had HDCP, but they all have now) like i did now to mine. Since i dont have an HDTV yet.

Re: Post your System's Specs

Of course they have HDCP but the thing is PS3 on 40" + and a 17" for a PC is good especially that i dont play FPS so only games like Mass Effect on my priority list so they are RPGs.
