34erd, just curious why you would go with the Gateway over the HP?
|
Just because its cheaper
The Cyberpower computer would be better if only after you upgraded to 2 Gb of RAM. Its actualy a pretty tough choice, I think the gateway has more value.

So would I be able to pick up all these parts (or equivalents) online or wherever and bolt the thing together myself for much less? Or even get upgraded gear for the same price? I havent considered building my own box but after looking around this forum a bit, I'm thinking it kinda sounds like an alternative.

It would be alot cheaper. Alot of people here have buuilt there own computers. If you dont think your up for then you can usualy find a small computer store around you that will build it for around $50.
Have you opened the X1300 yet? I would return it and get a 6600GT or the like. Just because it has 512 Mb of memory doesnt mean its very good.
