My questions for you guys.....
1)is that enough watts?
2)should i upgrade my monitor?
3)memory good?
4)video card good?
5) is ther anything else i can do to improve my download time?
 
you could upgrade the monitor to a bigger size and i have never heard of that company so i, personally would go for a Samsung or something.
best thing to do to improve your download time is upgrade your internet conneciton and connect wired insted of wirelessly, with wired you get a more sold, faster connection.

ok thanks i'll look at a better monitor

and i guess i'll wait till april 22 it would be cheaper right?:eek:
 
If it's pre-built then prices will drop less than if the CPU was sold as a component. I have a ViewSonic, it's great and well-built.
 
ViewSonic is a pretty good company... the monitors are pretty good too... had a couple for my old prebuilt, nv had a problem...

If you've never heard of ViewSonic then you must not know much about computer parts.

Anyhow, yeah I'd get a better power supply than the one supplied with the case, they're usually not that great.
 
what Styrak is saying is that the power supply that comes with the case are usually not a good quality. they usually dies or broke after a while (much sooner than if you buy separately)... you can go to the sticky in this forum called PSU101 to look at some of the reputable brand of power supply...

edit - To name a few: Antec, ThermalTake, SeaSonic

slightly over ur budget :o
but you get a really good system... feel free to switch things around... this is just a suggestion...

note that this price is before the April 22nd price drop so after that this build will be within your budget... :D
 
to be honest i am going to get a pre built computer. i work 12-13 hour days and on call 24 hours...i just don't have the time to dedacate to it right now....prebuilt is my answer

what do you think of ibuypower.com cyberpower.com or i just looked at tigerdirect.com
 
i see... you can certainly use the parts i listed for the build from those sites...
i know tigerdirect is pretty good... not sure about the other two... i have heard it being recommended by other ppl so i cant really say much... :o
