computers?

I need to get a new computer, wondering if anyone has any hook up's? I want it basicly as a gamer, also wanna be able to watch and record TV programs on it. I was thinking of getting something with 80gig hard drive, ATI all-in-wonder Radeon 8500DV 64mb DDR, a CD Burner and a DVD player. Any suggestions, or hook ups?

the ATI Radeon 8500 is not a gamer's card... or at least by today's standard it isn't.

If you want an AIW, chose the 9700. Much better choice. You drop some serious coin but you know you aren't wasting your money.

Also do you want to overclock? Water cooling? Air cooling? What kind of setup you going for?
Do you want to dress up your computer like you dress up your car?

I got my computer modded just like a car :P
