I like playing games, especially WoW. Currently have P4 2.4 Ghz, 512 MB RDRAM, Radeon 9600 Pro.
 
dont quote me but i think people round here coule build you a better rig for around that price...id do one but dont have the time...dont order it yet wait for a few more replys...
 
I have built rigs in the past. I built my own P2-400 with RIVA TNT and 128MB RAM in 1998 when I was 15. But I have my reasons now for ordering a whole computer instead of buying parts, or getting someone to build me one as you put it. I'm getting financial assistance for this and I basically need to buy a built computer.
 
Your paying way too much for that setup. Go to newegg, and price it out for yourself.

I understand financial assistance - as a college student, I looked into that option when I was building my computer last summer. Don't get me wrong, discounts are cool, but in the long run you're actually saving yourself more money if you build it yourself. That computer you're thinking of could be built for as low as $600, or perhaps even $500 if that person was especially thrifty.

Who said anything about college money? I'm having a business organization pay for this. They will pay for a computer but not parts. Why do these threads always devolve into people telling others to build their own computers?

What would be helpful to me is a link to a company that can build the same computer for less, or any ideas on changing certain parts. I've looked at Alienware and Dell, and those both seem to be significantly more pricey than what Ibuypower has got.

Anything along the lines of "go build your own computer with parts from newegg you will save money" is just a dumbass comment because that will not save me any money because my company will not pay for it.

Well, make up your mind. Are all comments welcome or not?
