    What will the requirements be for upcoming graphic heavy games and such? I plan on buying a new GAMING PC to play Left 4 Dead, DC Universe Online, and a couple others. What should I get at the bear minimum if I want to play these games?

    Hi

    Best bet is to check the games you're thinking of gettings websites for a listing of min and recomended spec, but my advice is more aim for the recomended spec or higher if you can afford it as on min spec the games run low graphics so all the fancy effects are gone and at times are not really playable if you're a gamer.

    this is from Left 4 Dead

    Of course, goal is about 4 GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce 9500 or higher with 3.0 ghz processor for a cost under $800.

    over here i can build a computer for 600-700. 2-4 gigs of ram (ddr2 1 gig sticks only average about 20 bucks each), 9600gt gpu, 500 gig hdd, core 2 duo e7300 (2.66ghz), a simple dvd drive and an asus p5kpl-cm (s775 of course) mobo (crappy mobo i know but its 70 bucks :-D)

    you would be looking for a case with 2 fans at least , 600w PSU, nvidia geforce 9600GSO graphics or more, a duo core processor at least 2.4Ghz so 4.8 in total , 4GB PC6400 RAM and a good 320GB HDD to store all your games :)

    Oh and make sure you are going to install 64bit version of windows as it recognises up to 16GB RAM and the 32bit version only recognises 3.5GB ;)

    I dont have the link but search for Microsoft Game Advisory, it tells you if your pc meets requirements for games or what you need to upgrade.
