Are these gaming PC's specs good?

TheLivingShadow, I highly highly recommend that you do one of two things.

1. Make friends with someone who is EXTREMELY tech savvy.  Not just sort of knows his way around a computer, but someone who has lots of experience building and fixing computers.
2. Learn computers yourself.
   

I have probably saved close to $10k in the last 10 years on computer parts just by knowing the industry.  And I have probably saved other people even more than that.

A good checklist for someone who doesn't want to get too involved is this...

1. Memorizing all the components of a computer that are required and the common parts that are optional.  (ie Motherboard, Processor, Memory, Video Card, Hard Drive, etc...)
   
2. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of those parts, in other words the common bottlenecks of each part and how/why those bottlenecks impact system performance.
3. Learn to balance price and performance.  With computer parts their is always a line that is the balance of good performance and a good price.  Finding those parts and incorporating them into your build will be a great benefit to your wallet and your specs.

I hope you find what you're looking for..
