Ya I can throw a GPU in myself, the computer I'm using now I put together so that's not an issue. Also I do need a monitor as well. Speakers/mouse/keyboard I have. Also, if I can really build a computer to play wow at 60 fps in raids for 800 bucks I might do that. It just seems my computer should do better than it does so thats why I wanted a prebuilt to just go overkill. I currently have a AMD phenom II x2 550 black edition, 4 gigs of ram and a 9800 gt. I range anywhere from 18-30 fps during boss fights during 25 man raids and I'd like to get 60 constant like a lot of my friends have. Thanks for the help so far.

Wopps

You should be getting better fps IMO. Tinker with your ingame settings. I'd suggest turning particle density to about halfway, shadow quality to a quarter or less, turn Texture filering off, and weather intensity down.(texture filtering is a joke. You would have to take a screenshot with it on, and off to see the difference when you ran past a wall, and it isn't much compared to how much it bogs your game down) Get addon control panel and turn off all unecessary addons.

What is your average MS? For raiding, Leatrix Latency fix from wowinterface is a must have download. I went from high 200ms average to the 30s.

if your current PC has 500W or better psu and the necessary power cables, I'd just throw in a new graphics card. A 9800gt while a nice card is still pretty entry level.

From my past experience of upgrading Dells, these are parts I ran into being propriety.

GPU fan wire - Can do creative shielding, but would be best to simply replace with better quality. Would still be least expensive part of upgrade.

MB case wires- You have to do some creative shielding to put MB in a new case. Do-able but.....

OS to motherboard- Your Dell oem OS will not work in a non Dell MB. I'd suggest wiping HD before installing OS. Windows could quite possibly retain the Dell info even if you used new OS disk and entered new OS codes on the Dell HD.

I didn't much care for FF7. Now if it was FF2 (FFIV), I may have to think about it. For it's time it was an awesome game on the console.

Loved Bioware's BG and NWN series.

I have managed to hold onto the remote. I do throw my kitten to the chair as she attacks me and the strap when I try to play. I have scratches up and down my arms from her attacking and chasing me around the living room when trying to play......

I loved playing co-op games on the 360 while chatting with my friend 150 miles away. it was one of my favorite gaming experiences.

As far as regular game rooms, If idiots are on, you can mute them individually.

I'd love to see it available on the Wii. Hopefully it will be part of the upcoming pay to play online titles they have been talking about.

No more Heroes would get my vote. RE4 is cool, but I never cared for the games control scheme on any system. I prefer my game characters to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time i guess........

I love No more Heroes, but I doubt it would win GOTY awards since you can already buy it at Circuit city for $19.99

I am loving this game so far. The stadium was awesome. I like the humor in the save feature, but the phone calls on the cell phone were the best. The bosses are tough compared to the rest of the game so far.......
