Look I know its not the best thing in the world but I'm not a rich man.  I don't think most of us are.  And I'm a lazy ass so I didn't feel like building it from scratch or spenings a guap on a Alien Ware system.  F all that.  So I  bought this bad boy.

I think it was the best bang for my buck.  I spend $999.97 not including monitor.  Think you can find somehting better?

Let me see it.

And you can build it yourself.

HP Sucks.

By the way, I don't agree with you that the relevant market here is health care. You're not regulating health care. You're regulating insurance. It's the insurance market that you're addressing and you're saying that some people who are not in it must be in it, and that's -- that's different from regulating in any manner commerce that already exists out there. - Scalia

If it came wth a monitor I wouldn't say that you overpaid...but yeahm, a thousand bucks for that setup with no monitor is a bit much (or speakers, but those are pretty cheap no matter where you get them)

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

I forgot to mention, I bought my computer parts on newegg and put it together myself, a comperable computer on Ibuypower (pretty much the same components) cost about 400 dollars more after taxes and shipping

It prob would have cheaper to go somehwere else like cyper whatever it is but I like that HP is a somewhat good company.

Idc I like my computer and I think the graphics card is really all that matters to me.

I just want to be able to play game.

So you go buy a comp, THEN ask for opinions? Isn't that kinda backwards?

And how do you figure that computer is better.

I'm not looking for a comp to stricly game on. I want a jack of all trades comp.

You CPU, granted it runes faster, its from the 8000 series.

And the 9500GT cards sucks. I mean you can have four on em and still not match mine.

FYI with the GE Force is the end in 500 the are the bottom on the line.

Just to compare I went to Ibuypower.com and put in everything that my new computer has to see it the prices where that much different.  You all think it is so much cheaper to buy from these websites.

Wow I saved a whole $5.  Thats amazing that you guys can find such great deals online.

Look I understand if you build your own comp that it will be much cheapr.  Good great got it dully noted in the back of my mind.  But I dont care honestly.

And for that guy who found that comp for $805, that comp sucked.

Look I hate fucking flamers that are jelious of what other people have and cant give some construction shit to say.  Fuck ya'll

I just threw together a system with roughly the same components on newegg.com and it came out to $980 (including OS etc. and not counting rebates or shipping).  Could easily tweak it up or down I just grabbed first item that fit the spec for each part.  So the cost is relatively equal just depends if you like putting together computers and picking out the individual parts.  I think the person quoting $700 is forgetting software and input devices and other basics.

 

It seems like a solid PC I dunno why the 2nd poster would ever consider SLI 9500's over a HD4850 or 9800GT.

Well people are throwing bullshit numbers his way.  If they actually priced each thing that's in that PC it's not that overpriced or anything.  The one I threw together on newegg may have had a nicer case/power supply/mobo than what the HP one is coming with but I don't know what the HP has and it's still not a huge difference.  The ibuypower one he pointed out was basically the same price as well.

I dont know I trust HP way more the ibuypower neways.

Although I have never worked nor have I ever bought anything from them so I am not going to knock them at all just saying HP has been around for awhile.

Maybe I just like to go with name brands idk.

I thought my comp was pretty good for a HP though.

With that graphics card I should be able to run mostly any game right?

That was my main concern was just the graphics card.

Its decent, not to bad at all for everything it comes with. I put together a similar pc a couple months back for around 600 but that was without an OS or the warranty you get with HP products so yeah its give and take. Its not going to be UBER LEET or wtf ever for gaming but not bad for someone who doesnt want to build their own pc or buy a ridiculously over priced gaming pc.

Yea I usually aim for ~$600 myself, mostly upgrading just cpu/mobo/video card/ram.. but once you have that system you can save around 1/3 the cost of a new pc by reusing the hard drive/case/power supply/OS etc.  If you're so inclined.. they're pretty damn easy to put together anymore.

Your title asks for feedback, so why are you getting all upset about it?  Your system and price is alright for a boxed one and I might have consider buying that system myself. But a couple of years ago when I was looking to buy a new comp, my last one was an Alienware before the Dell buyout, I searched for best system for the best price.

What I came up with at that time was, it was better for me to build it then to buy a pre-made one. I'm glad I did. It took alot of research and a little asprin, but I got the system I wanted for the price I was looking for. And if anything fails, like the power supply, I can change it out for specs that I want. I also have the abilty to up-grade my system a lot easier then if I would of bought a brand name one.

Right now, with the economy the way it is, I'm sure you will see some pretty good deals coming out from the brand names, hmm, maybe it's time for a new laptop

It looks fine but

you should upgrade the 4850 hd to 4870 1gb.

edit: hd 4850 will run anything on high, but 4870 1gb will do even better:)
