Gamers' buyer's guides

If you don't need the power and expense of a gaming desktop, a value-priced desktop can be perfect for mainstream tasks like surfing the web, streaming videos and checking email. See our report on desktop computers under $800 for more information.

Although some Apple desktops are covered briefly in this report, you can find much more information on the Mac lineup in our report on Apple laptops and desktops.

AnandTech.com has an excellent buyer's guide to midrange performance desktops. Mike Jones and Jarred Walton cover what you can except in terms of performance and components in this price range.

The graphics card is an important component of any good gaming computer. Mark Kyrnin, the computer guide at About.com, has an overview of what's available for desktop computers and what to look for when evaluating a computer's graphics cards. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
