I'm moving into a fresh new house (YAY). Me and my mum are getting everything new for my room (maybe). but I know for sure I'm getting a new computer. So I need help buying a computer in Australia (if possible a store around melbourne, I don't think I could buy online). Just a simple gaming computer (good enough to atleast run Diablo 3 it's probably release sometime next year). The computer me and my mum agreed on was this one. Also should I get XP, Vista, Mac or whatever is good for gaming (just purely gaming, PC is the only thing I got for games so yeah..), thanks.

Look into the Gateway FX Desktop models. They score 5.9 for everything in vista, (obviously comes with vista), and comes with an amazing graphics card. XP is better for gaming, but Vista is still okay. This computer is a quad core also, allowing for multitasking up the roof....

I can't find a link but you can just look into it at gateway.com or something ;P.
Other than this you can probably get an iBuyPower or Alienware - i find ads for them all the time in magazines in America, don't know about AUS.

Make a new rig yourself (Much faster and customizable (You Can overclock (Well if you get the right motherboard))) Well only do that if someone you know, knows how to build computers. If not just buy any with a decent graphics card (I suggest nvidia 6000+) an AMD processor (They aree built for gaming(Intel if you plan on overclocking)) and a good power supply the rest is up to you suggest at least 2gb ram.

ram are cheap now i heard, get like 4 gb ram( i heard it's really cheap) and a 500 gb hardrive then a god like expensive graphic card and expensive processer. then other just get quite good one.

Quad-Core
8GB RAM
Dual nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX2

That's all I gotta say for gaming.

The 8Gig ram will be overkill for a 32bit OS, as it only uses 3.5GB.

And i'd recommend building one yourself.
