What is the best ways to get started on a gaming computer?

You will need: (graphics card) the more GB the better. And the higher gtx the better. I sugest the EVGA geforce gtx 560. (procesor) there is the i3, i5, i7, i8, the higher the better. The more ghz the more faster. (ROM random acess memory) In all the sticks you buy I sugest you get 8gb, anymore won't do much. Any less is slower. (Power supply) Your going to get a lot of watts of power. The graphics card you get will have a requirment of how much watts you'll need. Try to get a power supply a little higher than that. (hard drive/SSD memory storage) a hard drive stores more but makes loading times a lot slower. SSD's make loading times fast but don't store as much. You can get both or one or the other. I sugest you save games on a ssd and files on a hard drive. (operating system) windows 7 64-bit is best right now. (computer case/shell) Get one that can hold your desired mother board and that holds a cd/dvd drive. (Mother board) Get a mother board that has enough memory slots, and that suports your desired procesor. (cd/dvd drive) Make sure you get one to play game discs!
