Quick simple version at the bottom of the page bolded.

Hi, first time on these forums so I might not know a few abreviations or so.

Quick note before we start: I do not know much about computer's but willing to learn.



Okay so, I play games online which are mainly: Counterstrike and World of Warcraft. I have always been getting terrible Frames Per Second which really effects my gameplay so I decided its time to buy a new computer.

I have gone over my option's of building my own (Learning how to from the internet when the time comes) but I came across a fully esembled computer that had some pretty good specs from what my friends tell me.
Here is the link:

My friends dont play wow so as much as I would love to trust them, I rather an opinon from people who know how these things work so I tried the WoW forums to try and fish some players who know what im talking about and know what to look for. I got some interesting responses and one of which was:

First if you want a gaming PC stay away form AMD as the CPU. Second Dell = Hell. Dell have been making Wall-mart off the shelf PC from leftover last gen motherboards and CPU's. In other Words your new PC has about 3 year old tech in it. Lastly Dell support is a joke.

I would Highly recommend an Acer like

Should do you just fine.

So I followed that link with full knowledge that newegg.com was a great site for computers and now im stumpt.

Same price,same looking stats but this guy says its better. I reply to him but he does'nt reply to my last response and noone else has so I figured I would try here as well.

What I would like to know is:

Out of these 2 system's which should I choose for online gaming. My preferance: Gaming features, alot of storage for movies and games and able to play games with atleast 40+ FPS. I would like it to have little noise but I dont mind too much. 1 other thing. Know where I can get a 20'+ moniter to play on?

Relinking for easier access.

Ok well who ever you talked to has NO idea what they are talking about, seriously, none.

AMD= good brand, very good preformance, great prices.
intel=better preformance that amd, higher price, also a very solid brand.

Dell= decent brand, i wouldnt recommend for gaming, but Dell is a good brand, it may be more expensive than building yourself, but its a good company.


For WoW i would get something like this, ill post some links, these are fully built desktops(i might actually post of a build later, but im tired atm.)


Good for WoW/CSS

GOOD buy right here:(This should max out WoW, great cpu to...)

Those are some decent prebuilt ones.
 
Thank you very much. I am checking the links out and they are looking good.

Anyone else have any idea's on what I can get?

Would it really be cheaper AND have better performance if I make my own?
