First time buying a Gaming PC

Hi so Im new to PC gaming and Im lost. Im looking for a gaming pc in the 600-700 dollar range that will run games like Day Z stand alone and Rust at decent settings. Any suggestions?

I find the IBUYPOWER's on Bestbuy are decent for gamers needs from my own experience ( I have purchased both a $800 machine and also a $1700 IBUYPOWER from BestBuy both were excellent purchases for myself)
I would actually try if you can raise that budget up to about $900! You should remember that you will want to most definitely purchase an extended warranty. I would actually suggest this computer

it isn't IBUYPOWER but the ibuypower counter-part is a little high at the moment so this would be your better bet.

First time buying on itunes and i forgot the answers to my secrete questions, any help

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

First time buying memory

I want to buy the Sims 3 to play on my macbook, but I only have 1GB of memory, and the game requires two. I have never bought memory before, and do not know how to install it. I've shopped around a little and found these two sites:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
http://www.macmemory.com/mac_laptops.asp
The first one is cheaper, but I don't know if it is actually good enough. I want to buy 1GB, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to buy it in a 1GB increment or two 512 MB increments because in the info about my computer it says that the 1GB I have now is divided into two 512MB slots.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Installation videos are available from the first link.

Yes, it is.

Purchase two 1GB modules and sell the ones you have, or purchase a single 2GB module and use it with one of the existing 512MB modules if your computer supports it.

When I start the installation process, I get error code 1. This is my first time buying or trying this program, though my computer says it just downloaded 3 times today.

Olivier,
The latest Parallels appears to have better 3-D support than it used to, so it might no longer matter. Check their website:
http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/
With 3-D support there, and less risk of damaging your existing partition, and better Windows version support, I think it is preferable over Boot Camp, unless every ounce of performance is necessary. If you find it is still insufficient, well, you might want to see if there is a difference with Boot Camp.
Regardless, backup your data before installing either software as my FAQ* explains:

First time buyer should I add more memory to Mac book pro

This is my first time buying a Mac I'm gonna get the
MacBook pro 13' with 750GB my biggest fear is running out of memory. So Should I upgrade the memory I'm not sure?

I totally missed the point about 13". There is no retina 13" so my response is meaningless, unless you change your mind and get a 15". Sorry about that.

First time computer builder - using K7N2G-LISR

Here is my story:
I am a first time part by part computer builder, I have installed every product except a CPU and Motherboard seperately. This was my first time buying each part on its own and assembling it myself though.
The parts I am using are:
MSI K7N2G-LISR motherboard
Athlon XP 2400
512 MB 2700 DDR Corsair XMS Ram
40 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM HD
Sony 32x CD-Ron
Integrated Graphics
400W Power Supply
Vantec Aeroflow heatsink
I had some trouble installing the heatsink. I had both paste and thermal pads, since it was my first time doing this and thermal pads seemed alot easier, I tried out one of them. I continued putting the PC together and everything was working just fine.
I got to the BIOS and messed around with the settings a bit. I realized I accidently set my HD as slave to the CD-Rom. I also set it to High Performance, and allocated 128 MB of ram to the onboard graphics. Before exiting out of the bios, I checked my CPU temp and it was a whopping 64C/148F. After I powered down, I fixed my HD/CD-Rom to the proper settings, and took off my heatsink.
I removed what was left of the thermal pad and scraped as much away as I could. I then put a little layer of thermal paste on top of the CPU using the credit card method. I had a little trouble putting the heatsink back on, using its side clip.
The computer refuses to boot up at all now.
The diagnostic lights will vary depending on what settings I have, between:
(R= Red, G= Green)
R G
R R
(Memory Detection Test)
I don't know how long it is supposed to sit there, but I gave it a minute. This was the first hang-up I encountered. I had two sticks of 256 MB so I alternated between the two sticks in different DIMMs, but nothing worked.
After screwing around and putting the original settings back (with the HD/CD-Rom) I got this message:
G G
G R
(Testing Real Time Clock)
It hung there for a while too.
I left the HD/CD-Rom configuration, removed the ram, and got:
R G
R G
(Testing base and extended memory)
Again, it just sat.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get past this stage.
My question is this:
Did I fry my CPU? If not, could you think of something else preventing me from starting up?

Well it's certainly possible that you did fry the CPU but I don't think so at this point...
Do this:
UNPLUG the machine
UNPLUG the MB from the PS
Ground yourself if possible otherwise make sure you have touched METAL on the case prior to unplugging it. And don't walk around on the carpet or shuffle your feet.
Set the HD on the Primary IDE as Single Drive/Master
Set the CDROM on the Secondary IDE as Single/Master
Take off your Heatsink and clean it really well and get ALL of the old goo off of it and the processor. Use Orange Clean as I've found it really does the best job. Put the paste (Arctic Silver II if you can get it) back on and install the fan/heatsink again.
Install 1 stick of memory in slot 3
Plug in the Floppy
Plug in the system fans and the power hookups
Plug in the MB to the PSupply
Find the jumper to reset the CMOS/BIOS and set it to clear
wait the amount of time it says in the manual and set it back. sometimes you have to remove the battery to get it to reset so you might just do that first and then do the jumper
Plug in the PS and start up the system and see what happens.
If it doesn't start you may have fried any number of things in the machine so you'll have to start replacing them one by one to figure out what the problem is.
Hope it works tho!! 8)
