RAM is an area that cannot be ignored by gamers. The good news is that RAM has gone down in price dramatically over the last few years. Many systems now employ the use of dual-DDR chipsets for more bandwidth. This trend in duplication will likely continue, as systems get more and more powerful. Hopefully, there won't be accompanying compromises on price and weight.

Video cards are also more affordable. Some high-end 32MB cards go for about $100. A common rule of thumb is to look for cards that play in 3D as well as 2D to increase the visual aesthetic of your gaming. Don't forget about the smaller stuff--an optical mouse is preferred over a standard mouse. Audio cards are also very important additions and are getting quite low in the price category.

To pump out the best audio effects on your games, get good speakers as well. They don't cost very much. In fact, perfectly acceptable speakers can be had for about $50. The part that you might want to spend more money on is the processor. Some Intel processors retail for about $100, but to get the over-clocked monster processors that will take your computer games to the next level will cost a few hundred dollars more.
