Is this compter worth 1,275$?

[matthewbim11]

I don't know why you need two DVD drives. And apparently it doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi.

[Daedalus]

it doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi.

PCI cards are only around 30 bucks

[Tom]

Do you need a router or are you thinking the router you are getting is a adapter?

[Sheath]

ATI Graphic Cards aren't very good. Don't you know Nvida is the way to game?

Thats not true. ATI is fine. Nvida might be a little better, but ATI are decent cards.

I'm pretty sure he can already get on the internet with his current set up.

Oh yeah, it's spelt Computer.

Anyways, I know of a decent gaming rig that costs like, $1,250. It's in a magazine... and I don't want to give you all the parts, because there's a lot of them..

[Righteous One]

Why bother with the 860? Do you think you will benefit from hyperthreading?

10gb of RAM is rediculous you should never need more than 8gb.

For the cost of that computer, the computer should have at least a GTX 460 or a 5830. Any card around those would also make sense.

[Makingblah]

Get dual core, not quad core.
Quad core has very little game support.

EDIT: 5000TH post :o

[TheArmyGuy]

I'd certainly spend 1 dollar and 27,5 cents on that computer.
It's funny since we use dots for that in my country.
I'd at least try to get it for less. Somehow.

[Makingblah]

I can get a computer for $500 that's better. Where the forget are you buying these computers?

[sorrel]

look for parts on this site.

Two video cards, each better than what yours has, for a lower total cost.
Or go for dual 460s and still be lower.
Though you'd still have to buy an OS.


Putting all the parts together really isn't that hard. I put together my current computer myself with only a few written sentences of help from my dad, and it was my first time putting a computer together.
