those are the ones within my price range, I know its not the best deals but this is the only store I can get this stuff from so I have no choice...unless I build my own which I would rather not.

im welcome to any suggestions and thank you for your time.

**oscaryu1** · 10-25-2007, 03:31 AM

All are HORRIBLE. Who would price an E4400 system @ $1k ?!?! Crazy! And an CELERON for gaming??!? Not even an CELERON D?

And cmon, an Xeon for gaming? That's an laugh...

Sorry if I seemed to have overreacted. All I can say it : All horrible, build your own. Seriously. You could spend $500 and get ANY of those.

ComputerGuru64x2 · 10-25-2007, 03:52 AM

Dude I could build a better gaming system than all of those for 1k

ok lol....thanks for the straight forward answer...I guess im building one!

what chipset would you recomend for a 1500-2k budget? last time I looked 6600 was the top of the line...so it was awhile ago.

680i.

Let's see:

Q6600 G0
EVGA 680i
4GB XMS2 DDR2-800
WDC SE16 250GB/500GB SATAII
Antec 900/P180
OCZ GameXstream 700W
8800GTX / Ultra

Raziel · 10-25-2007, 09:25 AM

Eh, I'd stay away from the P180 other than that its all good.

You could always consider one of the new X38s?

EDIT:: Also, I'd get a Corsair 620HX over that Gamestream.

daisymtc · 10-25-2007, 03:08 PM

2 is the best among those 5.

StrangleHold · 10-25-2007, 03:21 PM

Out of those 2 is the best but you could build one alot cheaper than that.

Calibretto · 10-25-2007, 04:19 PM

Yeah all those are way overpriced. Just build your own. You'll save a lot of cash and it's fun to build your own computer.
