By: Sheldon CooperAs the seasons change and cold weather approaches we find ourselves spending more time indoors. The extended hours of indoor activities leads us to spend countless hours watching football, watching movies, playing games and of course sleeping. While many try to stay entertained during this time of season most will break out the video games. Whether it is your PS3, Xbox or even high end gaming computer, we all fall back and enjoy the digital serenity.I myself will find myself playing countless hours of World of Warcraft, Global Agenda and L4D2. One of the best parts of these types of games is their ability to allow the gamer to play with a community of other real players all stuck inside for the season. You may even find the winter hobbyist burning the midnight oil modding their gaming machine, battling in a raid or just blasting walls of zombies.This season holds a lot of weight for most gamers as a slate of new games approach. Titles such as Crysis2, Fear3, Brink and more hit store shelves. While most gamers anticipate what the season holds, others are preparing for it. Building custom computers to handle the extreme graphics, and processing load. While most are trying to squeeze every last drop of their over the counter bargain PC others are turning to the pros for help.Some are looking for a fully built and configured gaming PC while others know what they want and just need someone to build their custom gaming computer. Either have their advantages.If you are looking to buy a gaming computer based on a configuration offered at most online computer stores, here is what you should look for.Great cost to part ratio (make sure the builder isn't jacking up the price of their parts)Up to date catalog listings (some online retailers are offering parts that were outdated a year ago or longer)Solid warranty (Make sure you understand all the fine print. Some companies offer sparkly warranties that fall short when you need to claim on them)If you are looking to buy your own parts but need a professional to put your system together, here is what you should look for.Make sure the company still puts the same build quality in the machine even if you didn't buy the parts from them.Be sure they add custom touches for free or at a low cost that they normally include on one of their own custom builds.Find a company that will council you parts list to make sure you didn't forget something or possibly are mixing incompatible parts. Either way you look at it, it is always best to be well prepared for gaming season. With so many epic games on the horizon you can't afford to be gaming on a rust bucket. Possibly a system form Yeti Works is just what the doctor ordered.http://yetiworks.com/"Gaming Season" is ApproachingBy: Sheldon Cooper
