My brother's buying a new computer and doesn't want to build his own/buy a computer then the extra parts he'll need so I am looking for him, are these three good choices, the graphics cards don't seem that great to me but idk. He'll want to play arma 2 and 3 when it comes out among other games so being able to run those and other modern games at med+ would be nice.

His budget is <$575 i'd say

What did you buy?

OK, sorry for the late question, but recently i've been testing it out and I notice the card never goes up to 100% but the cpu is always 100%. I haven't overclocked either of them.

CPU intensive game?

The first two are pretty much the same, and the last one has an awful graphics card.
However out of the first two, I'd get the first one. Just that bit better quality with iBuyPower than CyberPowerPC, even though they are pretty similar brands.

Hi there, my friend is looking for the best gaming laptop he can get for £1,300 (VAT included).
Ethan if you could please help hook him up here I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. :D

I don't like raedeon or whatever its called, Nvidia just suites me more, doesn't have many problems playing games.

[Snaffle J. Bean]

What did you buy?

Parts for my very own loving awesome computer (all of my computers previously were owned by my school)

Intel i5-3570k, GeForce GTX 670, 16GB RAM, a couple terabyte hard drives, etc.

you sure you know what you're talking about?

[Soukuw]

I never got around to taking a picture of my new graphics card.

Also I managed to recreate the flying spaghetti monster in my computer any good way to fix this, or should I just leave it?

Also my next upgrade is going to be RAM I think I am going to jump to 6gbs and 8 if I need it.

[TomTheGeek²]

Is that a Dell XPS 410?

Close, it's a XPS 420.

[TomTheGeek²]

Close, it's a XPS 420.

lol, the case looked similar because i used to own one. it sits in my basement with the other dead computers.

I'm hoping this one does not die anytime soon it would suck to go out and buy DDR2 ram and have it die the next day. (The computer not the RAM.)
Any suggestions for cheapish DDR2 ram?
