Okay, this is what I want: A fast computer. I don't know much about what I need. I just want a fast computer, with a lot of space (hard drive space?), a lot of memory (memory ram?), a great amazing processor, and I don't know what else I need. I want it to run and perform smoothly, no freezing or lagging on my video games. I want my games to look and sound great. I have more than 13.0 GB worth of games, and I have a lot of music. What do you suggest I buy/do?I need professional help/advice on building/putting together my own computer?
If your a gamer i suggest building your own, you will get quality components for a great price. If you were to buy a similar gaming system from a major manufacturer you are likely to pay alot more.
Heres my suggestion: Build around the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, if you can afford there is even Quad core. Get a decent socket 775 Mobo, Asus and Gigabyte are great brand names. At least 2 gigs DDR2 Ram, top of the line Video Card is the Nvidia 8800GTX, and for hard drives get 1 or 2 Western Digital Raptors the 150gig 10k RPM drives. Post back with a budget ill put one together for you on NeweggI need professional help/advice on building/putting together my own computer?
most important Q is how much $$$ you've. how much $ you willing to invest?
Build your own... Go to somewhere like a newegg.com and check out the reviews carefully. Sata hard drives partitioned properly will help, two hard drives, one with the OS on it, the other for your games... Hard drives seem to have the best price point in the 320gb range (about $100) . The video card should be well reviewed and have 256mb on it... 2 gb of ram for windows XP, don't get vista yet because of driver issues. For the processor, AMD dual cores just had a massive price drop, just buy the fastest one you can afford. For the board, a nice MSI would do just fine. Sound cards are cheap, they all do basically the same for games...
Well you didnt give us a budget to work with. And you didnt mention whether or not you know how to put it together when you get the parts. I would say for a nasty computer you want, expect to spend at least $2000 from a company like Dell, etc.
$1500 if you build it yourself.
These are some great links, and I think you should read them before you go any further.

Until you are ready to pick all the compatible components you need, you are not ready to build in my opinion. If you jump into this you will be sorry.
My rig is not top of the line, but It will run ANY game very well. The specs for it as well as my wives can be found in the Photos here if you would like use this as an example that is pretty fast. http://360.yahoo.com/profile-ewqgL8I7dK4鈥?/a>
