Author Topic: Ordered a new Gaming Computer  (Read 1697 times)

Basically, what ^^^ says. It was $783 including shipping (Which was $75 what the hell). To get the money to buy it, I sold a TF2 Unusual for $300 and begged the rest of parents/relatives in exchange for no xmas/birthday presents (My birthday is December 16th).

Specs:
1 x  Case (NZXT Source 210 Gaming Case - Black))
1 x  Processor (AMD A4-3400 APU (2x 2.70GHz/1MB L2 Cache)))
1 x  Processor Cooling (Certified CPU Fan and Heatsink))
1 x  Memory (4 GB [2 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - ** FREE Upgrade to 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3-1600 Corsair XMS3 **))- They were running a sale so I got 8 gigs of ram for the price of 4.
1 x  Video Card (AMD Radeon HD 6750 - 1GB - Single Card))
1 x  Motherboard (MSI A75MA-G55))
1 x  Power Supply (550 Watt -- Standard))
1 x  Primary Hard Drive (500 GB HARD DRIVE -- 16M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive))
1 x  Optical Drive (24X Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive - Black))
1 x  Sound Card (3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard))
1 x  Network Card (Onboard LAN Network (Gb or 10/100)))
1 x  Operating System (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium + Office Starter 2010 (Includes basic versions of Word and Excel) - 64-Bit))
1 x  Warranty (3 Year Standard Warranty Service))
1 x  Rush Service (Rush Service Fee (not shipping fee) - No Rush Service))
1 x  Free Stuff ([Free Game Download] - DiRT3 - Free with Purchase of AMD FX / A-Series Processor))

I'm expecting it to arrive probably sometime in January (ordered a week or so ago).

I don't really care if i maybe got gypped a little bit, it comes pre-assesmbled, the pieces really are only like $600, then Windows 7 was another $100, then shipping was $75.

Post about your computers.

I'm probably going to get this little deal.

Though I won't have a graphics card or Windows 7 with it at first.  :panda:

Unusuals are worth that much? :O

Holy stuff.


I sold a TF2 Unusual for $300
What the hell?

2.7 GhZ Processor
A 2.7 GHz what?

I'm expecting it to arrive probably sometime in January (ordered a week or so ago).
Why does it take a month to actually get the computer?

CANCEL THE ORDER NOW.


Horrible for the price. You could've gotten way better by asking in the Computer MEgathread. HEre's what I got for around $600:


Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz
8GB G.SKILL 1333mhz
500GB HITACHI
Antec Three Hundred
6870
550W fatal1ty




If you need a monitor, you coudl've gotten the custom-built above and just got a separate monitor. Why must you waste money?

IMO the processor could be better and the HDD capacity.

I'm no computer guru but you can get better parts for what you're paying.


What the forget.
Some dude sold an unusual team captain for a few THOUSANDS.
Crazy, right?

Good god, I need to play TF2 more. Spend a few years collecting special hats and you'll be able to buy out Valve and Mojang with the money you make :P

What the hell is an Unusual?

What the hell is an Unusual?
They are hats that have special unique effects on them.  They're highly rare and apparently some handicaps will go as far as paying hundreds (and for some, thousands) just for these loving hats.

Regular hats are worth maybe $10-$15 depending on their age.  Regardless unusual hats are just so loving cool but you're more profitable by selling them off than wearing them.

I heard of one selling for $1500.
