We have however gotten a lot of call lately for gaming machines.
These machines have at least 4 cores, and 4 gigabytes of ram, and exceptional graphics cards.
So I thought I would look around and find the best machine for this purpose without eating a giant whole in your wallet. I found a awesome gaming machine with tons of processing power, ram, and a excellent graphics card to get those gaming juices flowing. (And for a gaming machine the price is quite reasonable*)

The only thing I would add to this machine, and only if I really needed it, would be a secondary nVidia geForce GTX 560 2GB video card. It's overkill for most games, but on the best graphics games out there, this would improve frame rates.
*Again, this is not a reasonable price for an every day internet and office machine. As a rule of thumb, gaming machines are not reasonable price wise. They are however exceptionally powerful.
