4. Gateway FX7026
Editors' rating: 7.9
The good: Quad-core CPU, 4GB memory, dual 320GB hard drives, includes 64-bit Vista.
The bad: Not SLI-capable, two button PS/2 mouse and USB-powered speakers.
The bottom line: The Gateway FX7026 offers a quad-core processor at a modest price tag with specifications that any high-end gamer will be satisfied with. You might want to replace the peripherals and the video card down the road, but this system is an excellent option for a nonconfigurable, off the shelf desktop.
