Don't buy a computer, buy parts.
Yeah, but... just hear me out, BUT....what if, he doesn't want to build one?
Then he can pay someone to build it
there are 100s of places online to buy prebuilt comps made from custom. hp is a brand. we are talking about no name custom built here.and yes, even very high end exist and are cheaper then building yourself. on at least 100 sites. including amazon and ebay stores.
Isn't what buying a prebuild is for...?
So are people charging nothing for time and labor? I understand you can buy parts in bulk but if you're a no name computer builder you're not getting that much of an amazing discount. I'm not saying prebuilt is bad but it's never going to be a great deal cheaper than the parts.
get a mac.
I went ahead and looked at the most powerful line-up of macs, the Mac Pros. The most powerful one has an ATI Radeon HD 5870, which is outdated by four loving years.
its amazing how apple can get away with that
the best part? it costs THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
I was at Best Buy last month. There was a huge ass Mac with an i5 and a GTX 660. 3,000 dollars, but what are you going to do with a card like that on a mac?
they're using old source games as a benchmark lmao
