need some opinions

Post by Amarisa »

so i was going to sell my computer and buy a new one

was thinking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6883113102

normally i would never buy a prebuilt but money is a little short to make a good custom one.

if i were to buy all the parts needed it would possibly get into the 900 range. if i were to get the gateway i would upgrade when i got more money. like buy a new case bigger psu (if gateway does not do what dell does and switch some cords) then buy possibly the nvidia gtx 260 core 216 from evga (probably the super clocked version).

should i go with this or still go custom all the way?

It looks like it only has one PCI-E slot and it seems that if you tried to stick a 260 in there, it might not fit. I think if you want a pc with a dedicated gpu, you should buy one with a gpu even if its shitty, that way you know they've planned ahead and made room for it.



If i were you id wait and get something similar to this:

It's a big enough case to last you if you want to upgrade...well anything really.
Full Custom>Good Pre-built>piece of shit that you will upgrade (at least thats the way i see it)
