Cheap Gaming PC. Help Please.

so with shipping it ends up being almost 100 more actually, there may have been like 20 max, prob more like 10-15 shipping on the build.
 
there is also no build warranty. no customer support for the computer. only warranties and support for each part.. who do i call when it blue screens? and i have no idea how to fix it or why it did it?
not trying to be rude.. but ive had a computer home-built before and noone i knew could fix it. never got it running again..
 
its just scary to me and i hope someone here can understand that... at least i know if i buy a computer from alienware, dell, toshiba, ibuypower, cyberpowerpc, it comes to my house ready to go. i just plug it in and turn it on. bam. done.
 
umm that can happen with any pc? home built or not. just when you home build it and that happens. no help. and thats what im worried about
 
well technically we are the help, and all the parts we recomend will give you much better support than any manufacturer after we tell you who to call.
 
I understand what your saying.
back to building though.

AMD Radeon 6850 and 6870. Big difference? or no?

I wanna get this build decision done tonight. lol.
 
not that big of a difference.
If you are willing to build yourself, then save some money elsewhere and get a HD6950/6970. That will net you the highest performance for a current single GPUP from amd (still short of the GTX580).

why did you change to an 850w? and a thermaltake too, they aren't near as good as corsair/antec/xfx/pc power and cooling/silverstone/seasonic.
 
ok, a few questions.
1. do you plan to use multiple GPUs in the future? (CF/SLI)
2. do you plan to OC? (determines the need for a cooler)
3. would you be apposed to a HAF912 case?

look up some pics on google images, it looks nicer than that pic makes it look, only realized after someone posted pics of a finished build in one and it maid me crap my pants it looked so sick, but maybe that was that laxative i took, jk :P
 
ok. heres the list.
for CF, you will need a stronger PSU. And a 990FX board would be better.
I choose the 955 because it comes with a cooler and is only $20 more than the 925 you were looking at. Its faster and saves you the price of a cooler.

i have no clu, never thought about it, and now i want to know, googler HAF what does it mean and the only thing that makes any since is Hot As F**k

and what are you looking for price wise now, cuz there are several issues with that build for what you wanted. mainly being to change to these, this mobo will work much better with 2 gfx cards, the psu has enough power for it for 15 more, and the gfx card is 10 less, has a 10 buck mir, and is rated well where the other has no rating yet.
