Buying a new computer

coffey522 · 12-01-2007, 12:59 AM

Ok so I'm getting a new computer for christmas

I don't really know what computer to get...

I want one that has windows vista - I will be using it for gaming. Price range up to $1,500.

Any suggestions?

Gaming or word processing? AMD fan or Intel fan?

coffey522 · 12-01-2007, 01:34 AM

Gaming - and I have no idea what you mean in the second thing you said.

oscaryu1 · 12-01-2007, 01:36 AM

Their processor companies, but still. I'll get started.

What games do you play?

Wait is he going to build it?

*cough* you should build it, if you buy it from a store it can sometimes cost a lot more *cough*
