Tina, I think it was Geoff who suggested finding a small local shop that 
caters to gamers, explain your requirements to them and have them build your 
computer. I wholeheartedly second that suggestion (if you have such a place 
nearby). I like my Macs but you seem to be more comfortable with Windows and 
there really is no reason to change if you can find a place as described, 
with competent people who understand what you need. I my years in the 
wilderness when I was using Windows, I have had good experiences with such 
places.

Cheers,
Nathan
