Introduction

Christmas and New Year holidays... this is the season to be jolly, they say. We say it’s a time to ignore your budget and go out and build yourself a kick-ass new high-end gaming PC. Besides eating too much and avoiding confrontations with your family, what else will you do during the holidays? Play games and try and make your fast PC even faster!

In this guide we will provide computer component recommendations for building a high-end gaming PC these holidays. It won’t be an ultra extreme beast as found in our “Slayer” system in our System Builders Guide section but it will still pack a bunch without sending you broke for the next year or more.

We are going to cover all the bits inside your case and some of the main parts outside of it such as mouse, keyboard, speakers and monitor. A lot of the parts which we will recommend are actually used by the editors here at TweakTown and we give them our personal seal of approval. They’ll be no cheap parts in this system, so performance is going to be really good. That means the system will not be cheap but our aim is to build a beastie system which will not cost an absolute fortune.

Please note throughout the guide that we will be using our shopping.com code which provides the best prices on the hardware used to build the 2006 Holiday high-end PC. We receive revenue for every click – if you want to support our website and our advertisers, use the URL links to the retailer websites throughout the guide.

Let’s get started – we’ll begin with the brain of the beast and then work our way outside of the system to the keyboard, mouse and so on. Don’t be bored this holiday season, read our guide and build yourself a new high-end gaming PC!

2008's biggest PC title is here, and it doesn't disappoint. Well, not much, anyway.
Mass Effect PC Review
A console RPG ported to the PC - sounds scary, but Mass Effect PC was in good hands with BioWare.
Overclocked: A History of Violence PC Review
While adventure gaming is no longer the PC's finest, games like Overclocked prove there is still quality to be had.
TrackMania United Forever PC Review
United Forever offers a great way for new comers to jump right into TrackMania, but series veterans should be warned - this is not a true sequel.
Assassin's Creed Director's Cut Edition PC Review
This console original feels quite at home on PC, but most criticisms remain.
