Note:
- I have a very high end gaming pc sitting right in front of me
- This question is not about building a gaming desktop
- I hate sitting in mothers basement all day gaming at my desk.. I want to game in other basements..

Your mind should be likely to understand what this question is about now and why I am asking it.

Thank you to any answer that may actually come helpful to me, which is rare at YahooAnswers nowadays.
