When buying a gaming PC, doing some research before investing is an essential part of the play, otherwise you might as well donate that money to charity. An all eye-candy PC can be a real icing on the cake if you have one hell of an interior (performance wise). Usually Gaming computers are equipped with more than enough ports including USB, FireWire, headphone and microphone ports on the front of the tower which makes it easy to plug in all your gaming peripherals. These are not your typical desktops though; gaming computers incorporate style and portability so that they look as good as they perform. Here we enlist the top 10 Gaming machines of 2010.
