heh, man if you want to get something WAY better than that... build it... professional builds are not better (in the case if you built it would tear the computer to shreds, if u get these parts and build)
if you are nervous about not knowing how to build read this and also the motherboard manual will have picture by picture instructions... and you can't mess anything up by forcing stuff because everything only goes in one way... if you want a WAY better machine for the money then get these parts and assemble them:
(the Ram is DDR500 but it will underclock to DDR400 to work with the mobo...) so that computer would be a major beast feast compared to the other one you were thinking of buying |
