if you have to buy then alienware is the best but costs a fortune. go for dell if you wanna buy a comp at a good price. imo the best comp for anyone is a self built one. you can build top of the line for a fraction of the cost of buying one. you just have to know how to do it, but honestly, its not that hard. after you got 1 comp under your belt its smooth sailing from there.

Oh damn i just want to install the Top Spin-Demo(Tennis Game) wich uses an nearly similar graphic engine as Nba live 2005, and damn my PC IS TOO BAD for this game

here my specs:
Cpu:2000+ AMD Xp
Ram 256 DDR-Ram
Video Card: Geforce 4 MX-440(i belive thats the problem)

I think this thing about 700MHZ and 128MB-Ram might be not realy what we hoped for, maybe live 2005 needn't so High Hardware Specs but i'm shoct at the moment,

But: I want to by me an new Pc in November

The specs will fit my PC but I don't know if I will buy the PC version off the bat because I think I'll just play PS2 version for a while and when the game starts to get a little boring I'll buy the PC version so I can do patches and whatnot.

if you use a few things from your old pc, such as a monitor,harddrive(can upgrade to bigger later if need be), keyboard/mouse, then you can build a top of the line pc for 500. my friend just built a new pc for 800. the thing is fully loaded too and blows mine away. i bought the pc i am on now but i have built 4 since then for people. i was scared at first to build a pc so thats why i bought this one. btw this is a alienware and yes i way overpaid. i got this for 1600 when i could have built it for 700.

another thing with the mainstream pc's(dell,compaq,so on) is they dont use cheaper stuff. sure the 2 harddrive might be the same in size(80gig whatever) but the mainstream will be slower than the alienware/self built(assuming you buy a good one). now maybe hd speed dont mean much to most people but for me it does(wont help games). also you your pc wont come preinstalled with a boat load of useless crap like mainstream ones do. when i got my alienware pc i had 1 icon on my desktop and that was it. the pc i had before the 2 alienwares i had was a compaq, that came loaded with a shit load of junk. i think it came with like 6 dial up programs on it lol.
