Oooookay, haha. Intel it is, thanks for your help ;)

Oh, I'd looooooove to hear what's on your mind :P

I'm not really fixed on AMD vs Intel per se, I just want to have the best "bang for the buck", I guess. Best performance for the price and I was asking for suggestions. So I guess the real question was whether I would see any real difference in performance on the Intel i3 computer vs the E350.

And @sberg, the one you linked was running on a Pentium and DDR2 memory, could you explain how that'd be better?

Yeah, I've searched through a lot of recent laptop threads and saw that one (the Acer Aspire on the left for $480). But I've had bad experiences with Acer which is why I tend to avoid them, but I don't know much about the Intel i3 since I sorta "fell out of loop" before it was released, how much...

I'm on quite a limited budget. Anything about equal to or less than the price of the one I picked out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152249 Can you guys find anything better for the price? I can order off eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. I'm going to be using the...

I spent $150 on my 4870 only to end up playing games like Age of Empires II and Starcraft 1 with my friends due to their lack of powerful hardware :/

Alright, thanks for all the suggestions guys. I've decided on the parts and my friend's already ordered them. :)

Alright, I've changed the case to the CM Elite 430, and everything else you suggested. Can you tell me the difference between DDR3 1066 and 1333 besides the speeds?

I've been out of the loop for a while now and my friend just asked me to build a budget PC for him. He mainly uses it for internet browsing and such but would like to play games like BF:BC2, Company of Heroes, and TF2 with us on decent settings. He doesn't want to go above $450 and he already...

First post updated*

I know, but the thing is, that's the MAX, and if there's really no need to change it, he doesn't want to add any more, after all, he's paying for it ;) And, correct me if I'm wrong, it has to be a MicroATX form-factor PSU to fit in the case, can anyone link me to a decent MicroATX PSU? (It's...

Is there anything I should change/trade out?

Alright, so I've been out of the loop for a while due to school, (final exams, projects, etc.) and my friend asked me to do make a $400-$450 build for him, a HTPC that he can game with if he wants. Here are the parts I've picked out, critique and/or change anything you see fit to. CPU + MOBO...

BF2! Everyone has that game :D Anyways, I'd be up for CoD4:MW... once I get enough money to buy parts for a new build then start budgeting some towards CoD.

I can safely say that you can without a doubt build yourself a much better computer instead of taking crap from Dell. You can find most parts at: http://www.newegg.com/

Whoa, that is... the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. I think I'm going to do that with a picture of my room... once I clean it out, ya know? ;) Anyways, here's mine. I've got 9 Project Reality pictures like that on cycle, changes every 15 minutes. Yes, I'm a "fanboy". :D

Isn't that just almost exactly what Neva said? :confused:

Yeh, same here, linkin.
