I dont really care what I get. I just want something that is good for gaming. I am saving up money already. And I have gone through quite a few crappy computers already. Its annoying, so I really just want to buy a nice one. So if you are going to be mean to Computer Kid for trying to help me out, then not even post links, please just leave. I would like the best build for my money. Anything around or under $1000 would be nice. And if you could please, post links. Also I will Not be overclocking. There are a few reasons. I dont know how. Also from what you all are saying, I will need more expensive parts to overclock. And thats not really worth it to me. I just need a good computer for Gaming and Graphics. Thanks
We have been posting things with no links because they are not in stock and therefor have no link. And no, if you overclock, it would be better to buy the cheaper things and then bring them up to the preformance of more expensive things. You don't need to pay extra for that, but actually, less.
im not sure if i posted the link to my case, but if u've seen that then you would know that im am definitly planning on future upgrades. And because i am doing upgrades later on, that is why i ordered the sli mobo, so once i get everything running i will add another vid card. And also for my psu, i got it for cheap because i did some more shopping around and foun it on sale + my friend ordered it for me PST expempt coming to a total of 70$, so it wasnt a total loss. case here Also i have already spend 1000$ on this. The total cost of the computer is about 3000$.
I didn't posted any links because I didn't had that much time, I'd say go for the build John posted, it's okay. I'm not saying Compu's Kid build is bad, its just NOT worth it buying a amd now while the e6400 has the same performance as the 4/2/4/600+ @xelink: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813128012
I'd go for one of the Antec Truepowers or Smartpowers. They have a good rep with them, but whatever works. Woot for not being banned anymore
