Good price for this computer?

I've been seriously thinking of building my own computer lately, but I found this today:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229102

$939.99 ($859.99 after rebate)

There is also a combo deal that would get me a new monitor and put the order over $1,000 so I could do the 12 months no payments deal on my newegg preferred account. However, I have two functioning monitors so I don't need a new one!

What do you guys and gals think?
 
I don't know the only thing that would stop me from getting it is the GPU the 4830 isn't very much and if your plan on gaming you will have to play on mid settings. You might won't to forget the monitor and get a new GPU.

I would say no really. Sure, it has an i7 processor and a Gigabyte motherboard but what about the rest?

Power Supply = Junk...I would rather have a good 500w than a rubbish 680w.

Case = Junk...It's a $40 case with only 1 x 120mm fan mount:eek: That thing will struggle with heat problems.

RAM = Junk...sure it's 6GB, but what kind and what speed?

Graphics = OK for basic gaming...but you will not be doing any graphics intensive games.

Not to mention the warranties on the computer itself. It has a one year warranty that you will have to fight to get honored. Most decent hardware manufacturers have 2,3,5 or even lifetime warranties on their parts.

Check this out...it really is not that hard to build one. Actually it is very easy. It will get challenging at a few times but that is why forums like this exist. There are a plethora of people here who can help you choose parts and walk you through the build:D
 
No matter how good it looks on paper, in general, a pre-built will be inferior to a DIY build for the same or lower price. As stated, pretty much everyone here has building experience or looking to learn like yourself, and all of us are willing to lend our knowledge and a helping hand. Its really not as hard as you'd think. I was once told by a friend a long time ago, that computers are easy, you just "stick it where it fits" That are of course exceptions, but in general, its a fairly simple guideline. The two hardest parts are A) Connecting the front panel and other little doo-dads to the mobo pins, for which you just need to refer to your mobo manual for where to put that and B) lining up all those *#%$%$@%^ SCREWS! I swear, the hardest part is getting the holes to all line up and getting the screw to go in straight. Why my case is gonna be nice and roomy when I get the money.
 
That computer is like what you'd buy at a Best Buy or WalMart. They boast about Memory, HDD space, and CPUs but everything else is pure crap.
 
i know 5 people that have bought over 15 computers from them and they all rock. I have never seen anything bad from them and thier customer service is the best
 
I agree with every single person that has posted here. It's true, it may have Intel Core i7 and good specifications but quality ain't that good. Like, yea it has 6 GB of RAM. But what kind? You can get up to date hardware (100%) for the same money and a better case. I've learned alot from these guys and will be building my first ever computer in a short time (probably before 2010).
 
IF you build it through them you can choose what kind and brand of ram, videocard, ect... They are good people
