Computer Opinion
I guess a Moderator moved it, Thanks. Hey guys I was directed here by my cousin to get some computer opinion. The computer I had in mind is http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...id=170.540.558. What I am looking for is a gaming computer, such as World of Warcraft. If you have any suggestions I would gladly take it, thnx in advance
