Need good gaming computer

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

If i can ever get a computer soon i need the help of Edge gamers organization.
Post your suggestions.

 

[Homie Q]

You gotta give us a price range of what you are willing to spend

 

[Ma$termind]

Like Homie said, we need to know what your budget is and whether you want to built it yourself or not.

 

[-Swifty-]

yea, post the budget theres a lot of nice computers for a low price. i still prefer custom though

err it only has 1GB of ram?

edit: nvm

Im thinking of saving up and waiting a year to get a gaming computer.
Is it cheaper to build it yourself and how?

 

[Spray]

Yes! It's cheaper to build it yourself. As far as how, well, there are a lot of tutorials, walk through and videos online that can help you through every little step of the process. Just ask google. Now as for our suggestions, is the ~580.00 dollars your price range or ?

 

[Booster37]

It looks cheap, but I wouldn't purchase that. It only has a 2.0GHz Dual Core processor, and that is hardly enough for an AMD for CoD4. I believe Intel requires 2.2 Dual (at least, according to Wiki and Steam). I'd also search for an 8800 or 9800 card if you are looking for something with a little more kick.

Im trying to save up like next year i could build a computer which i could use a 9000 gt And i could build it my self and get a great ram and processor with mother board...

The main bits can be grabbed for under $1000. That is if you aren't looking to go extreme.

I got an 8800 GT, Intel E8400 (3 GHZ Core 2), 2GB OCZ Ram, OCZ 700 Wat PSU, and an Asus P5K SE for about $950 Canadian a month or so ago.

So yea, building yourself is the best solution only if you know where to get parts, and what parts are compatible with each other.

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

they look good but people say i should get a higher priced one.

 

[FlyingPolish]

That second one is alright for a lower performance gaming computer. The first link is just crap. For that cash you can build yourself a much better rig.

 

[FlyingPolish]

If you are going to buy a pre-made rig then try Velocity Micro, they usually have great rigs if you are willing to fork some cash.

A computer I just built for a client. Note, I have down 4 sticks of 2gig RAM since the client is running Vista. Take one of those off (for 2 sticks) and you have a complete system sans OS/HDD for slightly over 1000$.

Edit: If you don't already have your own OS (if you're a system builder like me) or your own HDD, it might be better to go with a pre-built system. With a decent HDD and Window Vista (even OEM), it would bump the price up to prolly 1400$ or so.

 

[FlyingPolish]

What version of vista is your client running.

 

[Cervani]

Vista Ultimate 64bit is what is going to be installed on this comp. Hence the large amount (8GB total) of memory.
