Need recommendations for good gaming pc's

Hello I am planning to buy my nephew a gaming desktop but I am not much familiar of brands and specifications that I need to look for. I need a pc that's ideal for those 3D games. Can anyone help me?

Hey Techman!

If you're still interested to buy the latest and best gaming pc, I strongly recommend the HP Blackbird 002. I enlisted some its major specs I find very important if you want a high level of gaming experience, on-line or off-line.

remember that the specifications are very, very crucial in gaming PC's. in addition to what the previous posters said, i just want to remind you that you should not succumb to sales/discounts or promos. just because they're cheap doesn't mean that they're the best choice

I'm into rpg or first person games. I like the alienware 51 7500. Cool looks and specs.
