This is just a basic recommendation for a system. Components can be swapped if you have a preference. Components are linked to www.newegg.com for reference only, check other sites for competitive prices before you order.

*** Many gamers prefer Vista 32bit; our inclusion of Vista 64 is more of a reminder to buy an operating system license vs a preference of 64bit OS.

I would like to aknowledge the assistance received from our H/W manager; Dai and Asst. Manager Tumbleweed36
as well as TSF Member Chowder Pants for his help with the link gathering and the contributions of Wrench97
