Answer
Unfortunately I can't suggest the manufacturer, as they have a terrible track record in terms of build quality and customer service. If you're interested in a custom gaming computer, you may want to consider building the machine yourself, or look at a more reputable manufacturer which will provide quality components and customer service (such as Dell/Alienware, or HP/Voodoo).

Expertise

I have nearly two decades of experience in IT, computer repair, and related fields and will attempt to provide the most solid, brand-agnostic advice when it comes time to purchase a new computer, or upgrade an existing machine. I can answer anything from the seemingly basic to the downright complicated - and will do my best to provide this information in a clear and concise manner.

Experience

I have been an enthusiast of PC's for many years, and can answer questions about the purchase/use of a new computer or the purchase, installation, and use of upgrades for existing computers. There probably isn't a whole lot related to the home computer that I haven't seen over the years.
