And there you go. With all of these components you#DY#ll have yourself a very decent gaming PC. Obviously it won#DY#t be the best in the world, but you will be able to play most, if not all PC games out there. You#DY#ll certainly be able to play the newest of MMORPGs like Tabula Rasa and Pirates of the Burning Sea.With this blog, I am not expecting an average person to go out and build themselves a new gaming PC, this is for gamers who have always felt that a gaming PC was too expensive to actually buy into. I just wanted to set the record straight. PC gaming still isn#DY#t for all gamers as a number of things can go wrong, things break, and you#DY#ll generally have to upgrade more often, albiet it will be cheaper than upgrading a new console.
For those who still aren#DY#t convinced to buy a PC for gaming you still have Final Fantasy XI, right? Age of Conan and those promised NCSoft PS3 MMOs are still quite a ways away.
P.S. I have tried to get this as accurate as possible. Everything listed here should be compatible. However, I may have overlooked something as there are a bunch of specs to read when looking at these products.
EDIT: It should be ntoed that if you go with a free version of Linux (Ubuntu Redhat, etc.) not all MMORPGs will run with it. Different versions of Linux work with different MMORPGs. Do your homework if you persue this route.
