There is really no need to custom build your own Poser/Game computer.

 

There are many already pre-configured high-end computers that already have all of the necessary features for about $1000 to $1200. You may actually save money and time by considering a pre-configured computer.

 

Take a look at the HP, Gateway and DELL computers that have the following configurations:

 

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Pentium – NOT AMD or Celeron)

 

2 GB Memory (or More)

 

Separate Video Card (NVIDIA or GFORCE – at least 256 MB)

 

300 GB Hard Drive (or More)

 

All of the other options and features are pretty much standard in most of the higher-end computers.

 

Take a look at the two models below…

 

Gateway GN5416E Minitower

 

HP Pavilion a1740n Minitower (This unit has all of the necessary features, but it uses 244 of shared for the Video Display. You can always add a separate Video Card to the unit for faster Video playback)

 

I hope this is helpful.
