buying a new comp

with 1415 u can probably get a quad core...

quad core lol

haha screw it, i had enough of looking at computer parts today. I just want to get one since this comp is so slow it makes me wanna tilt so bad.

looks great mate
just bought the exact same case and builded it two days ago, it looks fucking AWESOME! ventilation is sweet as hell too, my 4 hard drives are at like 29°-30° all the time

oh and its really quiet on low mode and theres basically no difference at all between low and medium so id recommend you keep them at low

why are u waste ur money for such a system?!
i rly think u only need thsi if u are a proffesionell video cutter...orrrr u liek to play new games at highend...
i prefer a cheaper one...if u only play starcraft and poker with pahud and pt...
its ur decision!

I have a great page for you (it's updated monthly), it's what I was going to use as a guide for buying a computer:

http://techreport.com/etc/2007q3/system-guide-0707/index.x?pg=4

It's basically recommendations (with explanations) by a tech company (it's either an online review place or a magazine) where every month they decide on the best 3 computers they can build, part by part, with reasons why. The reason they have 3 computers is because they have budgets: the first one is like $500-600, the next about $1k, then the last basically unlimited.

wow thanks Bigbb33 that is pretty good. I think i might change 1 or 2 things to go with that setup.

There's a drop down menu at the bottom of the page that lets you look at the other 3 computer models they built + other stuff.

Go here to get the best prices for your setup. There is a 500gb HD on there for $99 right now and the site always has the best deals on RAM, HD's, processors, and graphic cards. just an fyi.

In the guide I recommended they search for lowest prices too, and provide what they find to you: they recommend a fast and quiet 500 gig drive for $109.

Also all their prices don't take into account rebates. So the $1061 or whatever computer they recommend is probably a bit less.

edit: if you really want a bargain check out their econo-box build - it's still a good computer (Geforece 8600 GT, 2 gig ram, etc), but it's about half the price. Since you probably want a computer that runs well and is best for playing poker, I'd go with this and spend the $500 or whatever u save (compared to the $1061 recommended one) or like $900 saved (vs your original build) on a sweet monitor. If you are not going to play top of the line games (like released within the past 3 months, etc), then you don't need to spend so much and you can invest the saved money in a sweet monitor. I'd much rather have a 8600 GT and like 10% slower cpu with a sweet 30" monitor or 24" or whatever vs a 8800 GTS with 20" screen. So if you have below 24" monitor I'd go for the cheaper comp and get a sweet monitor.

oh btw wongie dont get 4 gb rams for nothign right now 2gb is plenty

Wow the 256 mb Geforce 8600 GT is $99 after rebate. That's a sick deal.

edit: If you want to play some sweet games on max graphics tho probably better to spring $180 more and get the 320 MB 8800 GTS, it blows the 8600 GT away by far.

check out ncix.com and tigerdirect.ca , they are both Canadian versions of newegg

yeah i just did that and i calculate how much it is going to cost. With some tweaks to lower my cost it came down to 1527.71$ w/o taxes. GG 1/8 of my savings.

check out directcanada.com
it's basically NCIX but with lower prices EVERYWHERE. it fucking rules

It's aight.
