for safety sake I rather have it built by someone else rather then go through many problems.

yea, i understand, lol i didnt wanna build my first computer by my self i was just gonna buy an alienware, but my cousin who works in computer industry talked me into building my own comp and he would help, had to rma some stuff, but yea, plus warranty you get with already assembled stuff isnt bad :).
 
These computers are all about as reliable as if you built it yourself. That said, the support/warrantee should be a big factor when deciding to purchase from these kind of companies.

The deals aren't bad- but if you have a cd burner, and some RAM lying around, it might be more practical (not to mention fun) to build your own.
 
whats the max u wanan spend? ill build you one

edit* from the site, not ill personally build you one.
 
http://www.abspc.com go there and configure a system, i configured a system with 3500+ 2 gig ram 7800gtx 200gb hd for under 2k, see what u can do. Prolly get a better deal from abs.

how did you do that? do you have link. I tried to configure and I got 2330+
 
well it doesn't look like https://www.cyberpowersystem.com has too much price gouging...

The problem is that the selection is nowhere near what you could get if you built it yourself. You could defintely save some cash (or get better performance) by finding parts over the internet and DIY.
 
yea already told him, but he just doesnt want the hassle, and admit it when u built ur first system u were scared as shit, i know i was.
 
at monarch I only pay a Build Fee: $59.00 and I can choose from top quality parts ..So hell yea it's worth it now..it's a lot cheaper then building yourself and paying shipping for all those parts...

What do you think guys... this look good?
 
Monarch's deal is good too, but they again don't have the selection of the web at large.

The closest place I can think of that I would buy a custom configured computer from is newegg, and 1) they have no water cooling stuff (that's worth a damn) and 2) overpriced products and shipping sometimes.

Although, I suppose I could buy the watercooling separate, so if they had a like 10% savings deal or something if you put together an all newegg computer then hell yea I'd do it.
 
You're wasting your money on a 4000+ and a SATAII. Get either a 3200+ or 3500+ Venice or a 4200+ X2. And get a Maxtor 16mb cache SATA drive if you can (300,250,200 gb versions).

Other than that, good stuff!

yea the sata 2 has a 16mb catche thats why i also chose it...

hmm whats wrong with the 4000+ ....is it becouse it's speed is close to 3500..?
 
agree with russ, if your gonna waste that much money on that processor go ahead and go with the cheapest x2, and then you can oc and have 2 processors just as fast as the one 4000+, plus even more future proof, other than that looking good, only thing i see you having to buy in the next few years for future games is maybe another 7800 to sli.
 
lol...i cannot stress enough how bad i want you to just build one :).....that said, that looks ok, and appears to be upgradable....however most games right now and in the near future will need at least 2gb ram, and also the x2 processor wouldnt hurt at all, you can overclock it to 4000+ speeds easily and stay cool with stock heatsink/fan, 2x 6800gts should be ok for about the next half year or so, but your better off selling those and just buying a 7800gtx and then buying another one when you get the money to sli. If you really want i could build a cart for you, if you decide you want to give it a go at assembling your own computer, and saving some money.
 
lol, i need to open my own computer building business out of my dorm room (dell *cough*)lol.......well...yea that comp looks good, but like i said, just upgrade to those 3 things (x2 processor, 2gb ram value is ok, 7800gtx, and then another when u have it) when you get the spare change and sell off ur other stuff. Good luck with the new computer maybe ill frag you sometime :).

yea, dont get that

yes I am thinking about the newegg one with dual 6800GT or the monarch one... The newegg one would save me some money right now though... So.
 
go with the newegg one with the 2 6800gts, good choice for now in my opinion ;)
