So for me to play l4d2 with good performance and no drop in frames i need a new computer. I would like to know what you guys offer.
Pretty much, i just want a good gaming cpu that can max at about 60+ fps and starts up games as fast as the ones do at LanLizards. Unless you can make it cheaper and still have great performance of gaming, i would prob want a cpu like the ones you use for gaming at lanlizards.

You are going to need to come in and talk to Angelito. You can try calling him at the store as well, but coming in shows him you aren't there to waste his time.
A CPU as fast as at KNoCS should be pretty easy to do for cheap.

1 Gig of hard drive space? Do you mean RAM? Just talk to Angelito.

Just remember you need to be running a 64 bit operating system in order to use more than 3 gig of RAM. Standard Windows XP or Vista will ignore everything over 3 gig. I have even seen instances where having more than the supported RAM will cause games to fail.

Nope. Talk to Angelito.
To be honest, I have a standard rule when it comes to building a gaming computer, but my rule infuriates the hardcore guys and shocks the low budget guys because it is not "top of the line" nor is it cheap.
Dragon's 1st Rule for building a Gaming Rig: Get the best CPU you can for $150 then get the best graphics card you can for another $150, then build the system around that.
Right off the bat you are at $300, and you haven't even bought a motherboard, memory, case, power supply, DVD drive, hard drive, monitors, speakers, operating system, etc. So right now all the low budget guys are freaking out because you could easily be talking about a system that costs $700 to $1000+. However this system has a good chance of being rock solid for a long time.
The high end guys freak out because they dream that they need to spend $450 each on a CPU and video card so they can get 300fps even though the human eye can only see 60fps. This is complete overkill at this point as publishers have realized that the world doesn't have the money to upgrade their computers, so they should be holding back on pushing the envelope for a while if they want to sell games.
So there you go...that's my advice.
Now let's say you agree with me, and that makes you handsome AND intelligent; but you don't have the cash right now. What Lito can do is build you a system with a fairly high end on-board video card, so you can have something decent for a while until you can afford to add the better video card. You might have to lower the settings on your games until then, but it gets you started with a huge upgrade window for later.

That really doesn't sound too bad, to be honest. Still, gonna' be a while till I can get a decent com. But, acording to you, I'm probably going to be in my senior year in high school 'till I can afford this beast. :'(Oh well, the supposed "best years of my life" aren't going to involve too much gaming, I guess. I guess I can figure out a way to get this soon.

No, Angelito is not normally on the forums. One more time... you actually have to talk to him like a normal human being in the real world.  |
