I have seperate PCs for art and gaming.
Games often put a SH*T load of damned DRM crap into your system, which makes it unstable as hell :/ Not all games do, but some do.

Pretty sure years ago, it was a specific game that triggered three Maxtor hard drives dying over a few months, which was crazy :/

Thus, it's best to keep game (and Net browsing) and art rigs as seperate PCs :)
