I just graduated college and I wanted to treat myself to a new gaming machine. I am not looking for anything extremely expensive but something that provides decent power for a good cost. Please post your specs and price and I will consider all offers.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

EDIT - I'm located in Southern California. Also, price range is upwards of $900. I'm looking for a decent deal basically. I could buy a lower end around $400-500 or a higher end for $900 but if you're trying to sell me lower end for $900 I'm obviously going to pass. I understand building computers from the ground up is preferred but for a little less money or the same, I could get a better rig that if I simply built brand new. So offer up your system.

build one.. You will fell better about what you buy that way. And its fun to buy & build it all your self :D
 
If you want a cheap alternative, you can just buy whatever is on sale online or in store, and throw a graphics card into it. You may need to make sure that it can accept normal sized graphics cards and/or power supplies.
 
prob easier to also list price range and/or specs info.

i am also in socal and have a phenon 1 cpu + board that I am selling, interestd.
 
You really need to have a price range, game range, and a little more focus here. What do you define as a "gaming laptop"?

I have a decent Toshiba A505-S6035 laptop that has a dedicated nvidia 330M GFX card and a sandy bridge i7 in it, worked fine for SC2, and I bought it for gaming that I don't need it anymore. But is that what you want?

I have an old q6600 desktop gaming system that I'm going to offload soon enough as well, but again, thats older and I have no idea what you are looking for.

Also in SoCal but moving shortly.
 
Responded to PM's.

What I'm looking for is a decent deal. Many people are offering computers that are 3 years old and almost selling them as brand new. I'm simply looking for a good deal that isn't outrageous. Price range is upwards of $900 but like I said I'm looking for a decent deal.

17 inch screen
1x 256gb Mushkin SSD
