Strange Power Losses

I'm having a bizarre issue with my computer. Just for the last couple of days for reasons I can't figure out, my computer will just inadvertently shut off as if the power has gone out. Just the computer itself goes off however, not the speakers, monitor, or printer or anything. I then cannot...

If money were no object...

I was just wondering if money were no object and you could get what you wanted what would you get? Specifically if you were building a gaming computer what would you put in it?
