New Computer

K well I am not to smart with computer hardware, so I was wondering do you guys know some good comps that I can check out, for possibly playing a few games and to run design programs such as photoshop. Oh and I wanna stay around $800 - $1000 budget.
Thanks

 

maybe a dell xps? theyre pretty decent

by the way, when will my pokemon card be dun? :lol:

 

I have to find the psd I lost it cause my comp ----ed up that is another reason I need a new one.

 

I would recommend buying the parts on newegg and/or tigerdirect and build it yourself. It's a lot cheaper and you can build yourself a damn decent computer.

 

Dell Xps's are way more than his budget. I agree with what the person above me said. You should buy all the parts needed and build it. Thats the cheapest way to go.

 

i agree with u

since u want a good gaming computer ! go with AMD !

and idk for motherboard, DFI, Gigabyte, Abit, MSI are pretty good mobos
get at least AMD 3000 !
get Corsair value select 1 GB RAM (it's around 80 bucks)
get at least 6600 GT ! well i prefer 6800 GT or above tho !



well im building a computer too

my spec

Abit AV8
AMD Athlon 3000+
OCZ 1 GB RAM gold edition 2-2-2-5
PNY 6800 GT
Antec truepower 430W

i only need DVD R/W and hard drive and im done

 

u can go to ibuypower.com and pick the parts u want in it and they put it together for u if u dont think u can put it together yourself. but if u can go to newegg

 

can you put it together yourself? if so



i made that real fast, and it's a pretty decent and inexpensive setup

 

it's a lil bit bottleneck ! if u can get athlon 64

 

this is a budget system, and what's bottleneck about it?

 

i made my computer about 1400 bucks in CANADIAN so listen up your building real good computer for at least 1000 bucks in american.

cpu: amd athlon 3000+ venice
ram: 2x512mb corsair xms pc 3200 400 mhz
motherboard: dfi lanparty nf4 sli-dr
graphic card: geforce 7800 GT
powersupply: ocz powerstream 520 watts
heatsink: silverstone nitrogen nt02 or you dont have to buy this.

all that including my new case cost me 1400 bucks. thats pretty cheap, and resarch and learn more about computers because these specs is special for overclocking. i recommend these boards to anyone asus sucks
