Gaming pc is this worth the price?

Sorry if i sound like an idiot asking but what is liquid cooling do i have to manualy fill it up with water

nope. if it is what i think it is, it will be completely self-contained and requires no maintenance.

sweet cause i jsut don't know about computers that why i look on the forums because im intrested but i just dont know where to learn for this stuff

 

[joh06937]

honestly, the best way to learn is to do it yourself (build yourself).

yah im starting to think that but it seems kinda risky that if i screw somthing up like the cpu and doing the wiring for the front kinda confuses me i can figure out where the things plug into and where the fans go but it seems kinda confuesing

 

[joh06937]

you really aren't at risk of effin' anything up so it won't work anymore. i'd check out this thread. it is a good place to get a good background. all other problems are where we come in

if i screw somthing up id have to buy a whole new part they get expensive

unless you physically break something (which is highly unlikely to happen), you should be fine. but, it is your choice

Is there warranty on the items but u know when ur putting together the front of the pc is it complicating cause it looks kinda complicating

 

[Drenlin]

It really is hard to break something. The most dangerous part is getting the processor in, and even that isn't very difficult.

edit: And yes, these items do have a warranty...it's typically better than what you get from a prebuilt computer. Like any manufacturer of goods, though, they usually don't cover it if you break it...

 

[joh06937]

the front depending on the case, you shouldn't have to do anything for the front. almost everything is done on the side after you take off the side panel.

well ty you guys are really making me more comfortable about building it myself just one more question before i head to new egg if i were to build a 1k$ computer how much would you guys think it would be if u bought from ibuypower or somthing same parts and everything just them jacking up the price and useing not quality parts

 

[joh06937]

not sure how much the markup would be exactly but it is almost guaranteed to be cheaper to build yourself. i would guess maybe an extra $200, maybe more.

 

[Drenlin]

It really depends on the parts you use. Sometimes it's under $50 more, sometimes it's a couple hundred.

 

[lunadog]

alrighht well ty guys ima head to newegg and see if i can build made a 1k$ i6 comp

 

[joh06937]

do you mean i7?

 

[lunadog]

arn't i7s really expensive like 1300$ cause i wanna stay under 1050$

 

[joh06937]

oh so you meant i5? great processors as well. i was just wondering since i don't think i6's exist

 

[Drenlin]

edit: ^ beat me to it, haha

Yes, but there's no such thing as an i6.

You thinking of i5? If so, get the i5 750 or 760...those are actual quad core models. The i5 6xx models are all dual core.
