Okay, so the deal is that I'm going to build my own custom desktop soon!(Yay me! ) I want an extremely fast everything and computer (You know like the kind the FBI have...Jk) Please list everything from the case to the processor to the mother board and include everything and include the price to! Don`t go over $2,000.00 though please I'm not rich (I only make 50k a day...Na`rly) My laptop right now is all banged up My brother Spilled milk on my comp, and thats why my typing is all messed up! Half the keyboard doesn't work! Thanks for doing this everyone. --I would appreciate it if you didn't spam this thread! --- Thanks Again!
Go to Dell, customize an xps at $2300ish and that should give you an idea of what to expect in a built machine under $2000 I can't give you specific brands of motherboard or anything though since I really don't have a lot of experience with building (just did once)
Here's a custom build. This is way better than buying a branded system. (All prices are from newegg.com - you can search around to find cheaper deals) Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - 227.00 Motherboard Asus P5B Deluxe - 179.99 Memory OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 - 149.99 Storage HITACHI Deskstar 500GB 7200 RPM HDD - 129.99 Case Antec Nine Hundred Advanced Gaming Case - 139.99 CPU Cooler Zalman CNPS9700 - 59.99 Power Supply OCZ GameXStream 600W PSU - 119.99 DVD Burner LITE-ON LightScribe 20X DVD±R Burner - 37.99 Monitor SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 318.99 Graphics Card PNY GeForce 8800GTX - 529.99 Sound Card Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional - 139.99 Keyboard Logitech G11 Silver & Black USB Keyboard - 55.99 Mouse Logitech G5 USB Wired Laser Mouse - 45.99 Speakers Logitech THX Z-5300e 5.1 Speakers - 134.99 TOTAL: $2271 (If you are on a really tight budget, you can leave the speakers, and buy a cheaper keyboard and mouse, and may also consider dropping the soundcard or get a 20" monitor instead)
with the look of that setup...i'd say a gaming enthusiast i'd give some advice...but so far...all the setups i've thought about getting are well over 4K...lol...i can't help but want MORE...
Holy shit Now thats what im talking about! thats a real computer right there.. Thanks for the post! Im seriously going to look into that! -Thanks for taking the time to post that..
alienware is too expensive...you could just buy all the stuff from newegg.com and make it yourself cheaper though hypersonic-pc is another good one in my opinion
you too?...lol I'm still saving up to do it, so I guess my 3 year old gateway will have to do for a little bit...lol
copy cat ...lol i need to stop spending my money on web stuff though...my 'savings' isn't getting very big...i'm still running on 512 ram...lol...not cool at all...
go for corsair memory, ive found it to be far more reliable than OCZ (even though they give a lifetime warranty the amount of times youll return it is a pain)
I go with the consensus of using newegg.com, since alot of their stuff can be custom rigged from the site itself.
What he said just take a cheaper processor for example E6420 180-190$ but can be overclocked up to 3.6GHz Also for DVD burner get LG-GSA 12 -12$ it's great
