OK guys..., this is my first post here on mmorpg forums. However, I've come here for a long time now to stay caught up on the gaming world. You guys really seem to know a lot about computers....I know you know far more than I do. Sooooo......I was wondering how I did with the system. Please keep in mind that I'm a casual gamer...I like gaming but I'm not hard core. Anyway, I got this system for $1300. And no, I didn't build it myself...., I paid to have a local guy build it for me....I WISH I knew how to do it myself...but I don't. Thanks for your opinion and I just want to know if I did ok with the money that I had to put into it. Also, for my upgrades in the next year..., what your guys sugest I have done to it? Here's what I've got; Blue/Apevia/Aspire X-Cruiser ATX case |

Originally posted by SylelTo be completely honest, you got ripped off, big time. e6550 - $160 power supply ~$80 case ~$50 680i mobo ~$150 8600GT - $100 XP home - $90 RAM - $45 Hard Drive and DVD burner - $100 That there comes out to less than $800 and whats really bad is, you can build a much better system than that for $800 let alone $1300. Its really not that hard to put together a machine, theres plenty of video tutorials across the web and plenty of instructions.

Thank you for the honest answer.....that's what I was looking for. Now that I know how bad I was ripped off, I'll learn to build one so that I can do my own from now on. |

Don't take it too hard. If you don't build it yourself, you pretty much are going to get ripped off harshly. |

Originally posted by SylelAs for upgrades though, I'd suggest looking into a new video card when you are ready. Depends on what you are willing to spend, but you should keep an eye on the new ATI 4000 series that come out within a month or so and NVIDIA's new GPUs should come out shortly afterwards. Everything thing in your computer is fine, it was just overpriced. That doesn't mean it sucks though, well except the 8600GT. |
