It's time for a massive PC gaming up grade

Not so much in certain areas though...are you looking for something pre-built or are you planning on self-building?

If you're self building, you'll probably want either a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad, plenty of RAM (it's cheap these days), and a SATA II HDD and DVD Burner. From that point, the only real question is what video card, which is where the questions begin.

For $300, you can get the GeForce 9800 GTX, which runs about equivalently to AMD's (ex-ATI) Radeon 3870X2. For about $200, you could also go with the 8800 GT or GTS 512. Right now, any of these cards is a good buy.
