Author Topic: Help with buying a computer!  (Read 2137 times)

I'm buying a computer, and my friends tell me you can save a huge amount of money if you custom-build it, rather than buying a pre-built computer.
If someone could find the pieces on Newegg for a pretty good gaming computer, that'd be great.
Also, keep it under 1000$.

First page bump. Go attention whores  :cookieMonster:

Oh you rooster-blocking my topic G.

Since you have a similar price limit, I might tell you what I buy. If you do me.............. a favor........... oral.

Nou.
I need information for computer.

So far I have decided an i5 for my processor, and a 5770 for my graphics card, that maximizes gaming for the cheapest price. I don't know why but after reading hundreds of articles and benchmark tests the dual-core i5 with a slower clock-speed somehow is faster than a phenom. And as a rule of thumb always get the cheapest version of the processor, over-clocking to the speed of the most expensive one is always easier and sometimes you can do even better.

Nah, buying I think is easier... Look in the Sunday paper, Look at Target's, Office Max's, or Office Depot's Catalog, usually they have a HUGE deal...

Compaq computers, are usually the cheapest on the market right now.
It's a VERY nice computer! Blockland runs SMOOTHLY, and holds a lot of memory. I saw it on the market for $400

Sorry but you seem to know absolutely NOTHING about computers.

Heeee. Blockland. That's funny. I meant things such as TF2, or Half-Life 2.
