Default New computer - 07-04-2005, 03:21 PM

I am going to get a new computer, finally, and wondering what I should get put in it. I'm going to have best buy order a custom computer built with what I want. So I'm looking to spend around 600-700 USD for something really nice. I'm not getting a monitor cause they are too much money. I'll be using it for Gaming, School work, and music. Cool thanks for any and all help.

try building a custom computer from Dell. If not dell, then order your parts from newegg. http://www.newegg.com

I bought 3 systems from i buy power and it went very well. good communication and pretty fast delivery. You decide what you want in it and they build and test it so it works when you get it. The only thing i see holding you back is your budget. Take a look anyway. I would recommend them highly.

They also have good customer support.

Are you bringing anything to the build (Case, power supply, video card, etc) or is it a build from scratch? If so then list what you want to take over to the new PC. I would hit http://www.newegg.com and start building. If you need a case then I would look at the Antec's as you get a good case and power supply together. I would actually look at a AMD processor as you can usually get more bang for your buck. Socket 754 (Athlon 64) processors are cheap and you can still get good performance from an AGP video card. The 6600Gt is your best bet for 150.00 but the ATI 9600XT and 9800Pro aren't bad cards either.

Edit... NVM
