January 7, 200619 yr if he gets the abouve mentioned PC on newegg, he wont need upgrades for about 3 years. Im builing a 1000 dollar system, Dual Core AMD (the X2) 7800GT 256MB, 2gigs dual channel pc 3200, 200 GB hard drive (SATA) creative 7.1 24bit sound card, etc. for 2000, youd have a really really nice system.
January 12, 200619 yr You could buy 1 good $3000 pc or buy 10 shity dell/AOL combo pcs LMAO no get an alienware
January 12, 200619 yr no get an alienware just remember to add at least another $500 when buying a system from alienware so expect to pay $2500 for a system of lower value due to the high quality of their systems id rather get a laptop and go crazy with cs1.6 wireless lan
January 12, 200619 yr no get an alienware compaq > alienware gg dont get alienware, they sell you REALLY expensive computers that dont have the greatest parts in them. you're best bet is to custom build a computer like termight said, newegg.com.
January 13, 200619 yr Try buying a social life. Or just go with what t3rm1ght said, he's got the right idea ;D except i'd go with an ATi persoanlly =P
January 13, 200619 yr Get someone to write you a list of all the parts you need, post the list here, we'll recommend what parts are best. then you go aroudn allt he hardware shops and write ddown the cost of their parts, ask about discounts if you buy a whole custom PC and they put it together (if you can't), and when you get the lowest priced shop, ask for a printed quote (say it's for your dad's business, you don't know why you need it). Take the quote to the next cheapest shop, ask if they can beat that price on the same parts and labour. If they can, buy it from them. You'll get the best value that way.
January 16, 200619 yr rifk @ 4Gb of ram what you building, a mainframe server? hes probably going to need a motherboard too buy an amd opteron 144 1 gig corsair xms 4400 sli 7800 Gtxs 256 DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR EXPERT Western Digital raptor 74Gb PC P&C Sli psu That'll be super fast ur processor will clock to 3.0Ghz+ with ur ram running 1:1 and you'll have a bunch left over to go buy everyone you know a drink
January 16, 200619 yr If your pretty new to building computers and you need help, http://www.tomshardware.com is a great site. They have tons of articles on every different part of the computer and are always comparing new products. Really good site to find out whats good with what.
January 17, 200619 yr I'll agree with that. I was looking at toms for 6 months before I built my current one. And that was 3, 4 years ago or so. there is a lot of things you don't need to care about (flowcharts in general, they don't help me worth a shit), but when you get down to the benchmarks, they perform some of the best.
January 27, 200619 yr Commador 64 I have one for you and i will sell it at a discount to you only for $1500 :rape: commodore 64* seriously though, if you do have one for sale, pm me

January 27, 200619 yr agreed. Anyway I put together the pc I'm using atm when I was still a sobby nooby:O_o: Paid 2260 euros for it.. nd it aint even that l33t.:tear:
January 27, 200619 yr Please, for me, never buy a dell. Ok so i paid $1,500 for one..ok well my dad did but w/e, he wanted to. we got it in 3 seperate boxes. The dvd burner was broken and wouldnt read any dvd's/cd's when we put them in, so i called customer help. I sat on the phone for 3 hours with some fucking arab bitch from new delhi, india. Now, you think they'd atleast give you a decent video card right? WRONG. They gave me the uberest thing ever, intel EXTREME integrated.................................... I get like 13 fps on classic dod...bullshit.
