When I say "Whats are good computer parts for heavy gaming," I do NOT mean "What computer parts do you have that are okay." I'm asking just to get an idea so price is not an issue (now anyways) tell me the absolutely best in the industry for HEAVY GAMING. I want my computer to be able to play ANY game on maximum settings. These are the parts that I'm looking for. -Processor -Motherboard -Video Card -Cooling method Thanks

1. 1. Its the mohterboard you select first - it has to hold the specific processor you want, Intel or AMD 2. The processor speed and cache are next in line. Go for the gusto 3. The next is Power Supply. Go for 700 watts or more to hold the processor and motherboard and especially supply enough power for the video card. 4. Video cards come in different flavors and numbers. A video card with 512mb to 1gig is great but you can also run dual video cards on a lot of motherboards. 5. Cooling - Biggest heat sink available and lots and lots of air. Minimum of 4 fans for the case with one blowing outside air onto the processor and one over the video card(s) and two blowing hot air out of the case. Thats a good start. Sarge
