Yes, time again to ask for help. I'm in a crunch for time and I need a system that will beat a Dell. A friend told me to get a system he can game on and try to keep it under $1000.00. I thought of this forum and with the build help from you guys, I can build him a custom pc that is better and...

thanks, so should I go with the one peter posted since it has all the links? I checked out the others and pretty neat stuff...i just want to get most bang for buck under 1k also, should I use XP on this or give in and go Vista?

oh thanks! that's great with all the links right there only problem was: MSI K9N4 Ultra-F Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 500 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail the rating for that was in the 30s? :(

thanks guys!

Well, he's not a gamer. Which is tough because that's like the only machine I know how to build for him hehe. his words for what he wants in his pc "music burning, dvd burning/playing, virus protection just tons of memory so it is not slow" haha, I was like....ok what's your limit? he said his...

would be 1450, but moniter is included and we went a little over the 1000$ mark....

All right boys and girls, I need some input on a good PC build for about a grand. mouse, keyboard and monitor are not needed. I know, I usually don't post much but quite frankly, I'm split on what to get for my buddy. he's got a budget of a grand. so far, what I'm thinking is a quiet case...

taken from buisnessweek.com I'm excited! I enjoy the stunning visual effects that my 360 with DLP HDTV provide me but I really can't wait till I try the WII and the "new gaming" with the neat controller! goosebumps!

haha read the warning I don't know about you but I just jumped in the air and punched my ceiling which gave me 10 gold coins....boo yah :D

Tom's Hardware for the win! let the #'s show you intel is in the lead :) http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

Ok, as much as I hate dell they did just buy Alienware so if anything you're just buying the name there. IBM and HP I've never had any exp with. here's the music, movie and photo desktops by dell...

I love my new 88series card...sure it was a big hole in the wallet but worth every penny IMO

honestly, I used to think the same way when I had the crummy AOL dialup. I'm pretty sure you get what your phone lines can handle. I've always heard of the "speed optimizers" but I personally think that they are bunch of bull. save up some money and get DSL which would increase both DL and...
