Buying a new computer - Need suggestions

[coffey522]

Ok so I'm getting a new computer for christmas

I don't really know what computer to get...

I want one that has windows vista - I will be using it for gaming. Price range up to $1,500.

Any suggestions?

Gaming or word processing? AMD fan or Intel fan?

 

[coffey522]

Gaming - and I have no idea what you mean in the second thing you said.

 

[oscaryu1]

Their processor companies, but still. I'll get started.

What games do you play?

Wait is he going to build it?

*cough* you should build it, if you buy it from a store it can sometimes cost a lot more *cough*

[coffey522]

I know this but I want a new computer I also want to use like vegas 8. Plus I think vista looks really cool

 

[coffey522]

Oh also I am not building a computer

I'm buying one thats already made lol

 

[oscaryu1]

?! Seriously?! Cmon! I just saved you $500 in labor or so from buying Devil Dell and HP!

 

[coffey522]

I would have no idea where to begin lol

Guides were made for a reason... Let me get some... It's VERY easy to build. If you can do a oil change, this is alot easier...

Bestest place

 

[coffey522]

I really would rather just buy one

 

[oscaryu1]

Well, if I were you, go to HP... Dell is all right, as they have never failed me. Techically, I'd pay someone to build it, you can just get the parts.

 

[Pyrox920]

You don't know where to start... Start by buying all the parts Oscar listed. When they arrive, it's very easy (with the help of the guide he gave) to put them together.

I had no idea how to build one a few months ago. But i decided I would, and I did. It will saves you a whole lot of $$$.
