Hi!
[I originally posted this message in a thread started by someone else in the General Gaming section, but I didn?t get any responses, so hopefully this will work better.]
I am looking to purchase a system that I will use exclusively for gaming, probably in an arcade cabinet. I really don't want to build a PC from scratch. Any suggestions on where to buy a good system that won't cost a fortune? I can customize one at CyberpowerPC or IBuyPower, but I?d need to know what components to go with. I guess what I really need to know is: 1)what CPU do I need, 2)what GPU do I need, 3)how much RAM?
What I'd really want to be sure I could do without any problems (at least no problems caused by my system anyway) would be the following:
MAME ? mostly games from the early ?90s or before, plus whatever Golden Tee is available
NES
SNES
N64
Sega Genesis
Playstation 1
Thanks a lot for any input. I?ve tried to research this, but there is a lot of conflicting info out there so it can be confusing.
