There is always a faster PC 6 months down the road but who spends a couple thousand for a gaming PC? I built my 8 core system with 16 gigs of ram for less than $500. Still need a vid card but even if I spend $400 on it I wont go over $1000 in total.

Hell, I'll build you a gaming rig that will make you shit your pants for 2k :P Of course, I will be pocketing $800 as a stupidity tax.
