Author Topic: Thinking about building a computer. (Read 839 times)

My computer is ths laggiest thing ever, it makes up for it by being a laptop.

Although when I play on other peoples laptops, I marvel at how much slower theirs is than mine.

But anyway, thinking about making a transaction to PC and I was wondering how much it would cost to make a good gaming rig.

If I decide to, keeping in mind how many of you Ive heard built computers, I would need full instruction and part reccomendations.

Please help and discuss.

I want a goot compooper than costs more that twenty five dollars!

You can build one for about what Daed said, but for around 1000-1100 you'd get something that'll last longer and run better. If you want I could put together a list of parts later tonight/tomorrow, but there's people here better than me at that anyway. If no one else does I guess I can :P

Also, one word: NewEgg

Laptops are PCs.

You know what he meant, no need to nitpick.

Your becoming an ass again, Night Fox.

NightFox is completely correct. Fredulus just seems to have a bug up his ass 24/7.

I never said Night Fox was wrong...? He was just being really picky. It really doesn't matter what OP calls a desktop, we all know what he meant.

I wasn't replying to you, and NightFox was being completely useful.

Tip: AMD processors; cheaper but just as good as Intel.

Fredulus · March 19, 2011, 09:34:02 PM

Honestly Intel probably is better for some things, but for an average (or hell, way above average) gaming computer there's not much point to spend that much extra money. If you have the money, by all means go ahead, but for most people AMD will work just fine.
