NEW PC, some advice please

Burgon · 04-13-2006, 08:45 AM

Hey guys,
I was wanting to buy a new computer and I was hoping you would help me.
I dont want to spend more then 2,5k Dollars which is about 1250 quid.
IT NEEDS TO BE GOOD!!!
That price includes everything from every chip to screen.
I go for AMD 64 athlon Dual core (I forgot the exact name but i mean the powerfull one (Might have bin extrem))
It should be good for games but also other things like normal windows.
PLEASE HELP.

Go with what I got in my signature. All of that plus a few extras cost me just under $2000. Then you could add two 19" LCD's to the equation and be at your $2500 limit.

Yeah Ferrari would be good, I suggest browsing around the monitor section of the forums for a little while so you can get an idea of what you want. Good luck!!

Ferrari makes compuer monitors? Ferrari Acer is a type of laptop made by Acer. Good companies for monitors are Sharp, Viewsonic, (Hard to admit) Dell makes nice monitors. Thats all I can think off, pretty sad.
