Also What Kind Of Remote Should I Get To Play Games On Here And Also Do These Spec's look good for gaming let me no
 
most everybody is going to say this, so i might as well do it, are you willing to build your own computer? you'll probably save a boatload of money if you do. if you're willing to build your own, what is your budget(the system you have is decent for gaming, but you could just save a huge amount of money)

I'd say its a pretty damned good gaming rig even. Granted he's probably paying about 2-3k for it. If you're capable of building your own, do it, if you've got the money to waste, all the power to ya.

Oh and don't make duplicate threads. You already have another thread asking what "game remote" you should get, no need for that when you're asking here.
 
Some corrections to the build.


You do NOT need a 1200watt psu, majjjoorr overkill, you would go fine with an 800 watt psu, heck, you would do fin with a 650 watt psu if it had 40 amps running on it.

Second- no need for liquid cooling, you could get almost the same results from a high-end air cooler. EDIT: Just over clock it yourself anf save money on the overclocking fee and the h2o fee, that would save you $300+

third, you can do this if you want, but no need for 8gb of ram, i have 2gigs mine, and vista uses 800mb, when playing a game it uses 1.5gb.
i would only get 8gb if you were thinking of video editing/sound editing.

EDIT: you would do fine with 4gb

I'm going to agree with everything mx344 said no need for 1200watt PSU, Water Cooling, 8GB of RAM, or paying extra for it to be overclocked. Get 850watt PSU. Skip the water Cooling you can be harmful to your computer and is a pain to maintain get the best heatsink you can. Get 4GBs of RAM unless video/sound editing as mx344 said. Overclock it your self and save some money. Also as stated by just a noob you would save a lot of money building it your self.
 
Don't criticse him too much! It's a good build! But Fatback and Mx344 are right about you overdoing the PSU and watercooling. If you decide to stick with watercooling then its a very nice box. Good build too. How much you paying for that? Must cost quite a bit..
 
if you want to take advantage of all the fancy "tri-channel" advantages you need a capacity divisible by 3. so get 6gb. 12 you will never use, or 9.

He is using a AMD motherboard which only use dual channel like 2x2GB or 2x4GB. Intel is the one that uses tripple channel it's useless for AMD. If he was to switch to the i7 it would cost $200 more at least.
