Which one of those three do you recommend?
Oh, and should I also get a Surge Protector..?

 

PSU = Power Supply

 

Ok, I will get that, Or just take the one off my dell, it's custom.

^ The only thing about the one in my dell is the blue neon light..

Another question is do you need an install disk to make the PSU work?

 

no you need a new psu. Your dell one will not be good enough. yes you should have a surge protector.

 

Ok, Forget that case, I need a case that's about 50 dollars..Any suggestions..? Oh and I prefer the ones that are see thru on the side.

 

YOu dont need a cool looking case. I made the mistake and bought one. Its all flashy but no-one cares even if you do go to lanparties. Just get the case I recommended its a good case with silent fans and a very good psu.

 

Wait, so the one you suggested has a PSU ..?

 

yes it did. It was a NeoHE 500W Modular PSU. It has 3 12v rails which is really good and you can take out the left over plugs for better case organisation.

 

No wonder it was so much, I thought it was just the case itself, thanks ^_^ .

 

For $1000 might as well go with Dell. Wait until Christmas-time to get in on some of their crazy deals.

 

I've decided not to get a prebuilt computer.

 

you'd have to get a 3.2 ghz pentium extreme edition to approximate the x2 3800+ that's out of his budget.

 

if he went with a dell/pre-built his next pc change would be a full build rather than an upgrade. By building his own he opens the door to upgrades whereas with factory builts they use specifically built parts that cannot be upgraded easily.
