i like pc gaming. RTS mainly.

I like the mouse to aim and such but I hate using the keyboard. Too many buttons. I feel like I'm rather trying to memorize what button does what rather than playing a game and it's a bit frustrating. Arrows aren't as precise as a joystick. Those are probably my biggest complains.

I would have no problem with games that support a controller, though, it kinda is useless since you'd better off playing on a console then. Also, there aren't that many games on PC that get my attention. So I just play Sims or casual games (like bejeweled) on PC and gaming on consoles/handhelds.

I play a lot of CSS, and it seems I need to upgrade, and this is the perfect thread for someone to help me :)

Is this a good budget gaming computer?

It's around my price range and I was wondering is there any thing else better I can get for that price.
I want to keep SLI because when I get enough money I want to upgrade the vid cards in that.

Thanks guys, I didn't want to make a new thread?

Keyboard and mouse rule. I suck so bad at console FPSs(I suck at PC FPSs too, but not as much). Also freeware games rock.

Thats a good system but it would be much cheaper if you build it yourself...

I only play RTSs (CoH, DoW and WiC being my favourite), although my computer does struggle with my very favorite games, Total War games, ever since Rome my computer can barely handle the battles, although I am just content with playing the main strategy game

 How much cheaper you think?

I forgot to add, it doesn't come with an OS. 

Nah, only games I ever loved to play on a PC were Lemmings, Theme Park World and Santa Slayer. :p

@ BottledWater: First of the shipping cost is way to high IMO, the hardware itself is a hard question for me since I don´t know what the single parts cost where you are... have you ever asebled a PC before ??? It´s not that hard... at least if you have a little experiance... if I where you I would ask ssj12 about the best price for hardware since he seems to be realy up to date...

Oh and please get that Chad Warden pic out of your sig... it really sickens me....

I hate PC gaming. Its just not for me.
