May 17, 200717 yr Could've got a much better gfx, for example the 7950 GT atleast. I've never been a fan of Intel but I hear their duel/quad cores are pretty amazing.

May 17, 200717 yr How about, you save your money, and get something that can actually get you LAID. Like a car, or a fly ass pimp suit?
May 17, 200717 yr if you need to buy things to get laid, buy a fleshlight ya chauncy. step your game up kid
May 17, 200717 yr I was thinking about buying some shit on newegg. Is newegg good or do they send you broken shit, I really want to know because its a lot cheaper than other stores.

May 18, 200717 yr I was thinking about buying some shit on newegg. Is newegg good or do they send you broken shit, I really want to know because its a lot cheaper than other stores. Manufacturers send Newegg broken shit. And Newegg will always RMA it. Newegg is the best place to get PC parts. Hands down. Every once and a while you might find a better deal on ebay, tigerdirect, zipzoom etc...but 99% of the time Newegg is cheaper and just plain better. You order something from Newegg and most of the time its a day early than what you expect. Newegg is the shit, only problem is now for some reason they dont accept Paypal credit cards.
May 18, 200717 yr I was thinking about buying some shit on newegg. Is newegg good or do they send you broken shit, I really want to know because its a lot cheaper than other stores. order shit on Monday and get it within 2 days or on the 3rd for most places in America. only had one thing from them arrive bad and it was an Asus mobo which wasn't their fault since everyone now knows Asus makes shit mother boards. also like some other guy said, they are the cheapest place 99% of the time and since their customer base is so large they have lots of reviews for almost every item you could be looking to buy so you can make education decisions on your purchase apart from reading independent review sites.
May 18, 200717 yr yup order on monday for sure, they raise the prices on the weekend LOL. newegg is always good about rma'ing stuff, its not their fault about selling broken shit, its the manufacturers. should work unless you are buying open-box... then who knows yaddada.

May 18, 200717 yr the c2d requires eats less power, what are you going to do with your system? the AMD is good if you are going to be doing thinks like compressing files with winrar or photoshopping, but if you are planning on transcoding or encoding audio/video then the core2duo is a better choice. go for the AMD if you arent going to overclock, if you are, then go for a core2duo. i would go for the c2d E6600 if you can afford it, if not then save money, buy the cheaper one, then buy a quad core later.

May 19, 200717 yr i still think that is a retarded waste of money, just get one 8800 GTX for now, and SLI it later on. i suggest 4 gigs and vista64 with that setup, lol.
