Hello,
I am planning on spending 1000-1200$ on a new PC. I am clueless when it comes to building computers. What I have come down to is either a Dell XPS 420 (8 gig ram, 1 TB hardrive) or something else. I came across this website http://www.page.magicmicro.com/?gclid=CJLq1bT9vJcCFQOeFQodlSAhTA . Besides this I checked out the advertisement on this site (cyberpowerpc) - looks to be the same type of thing ... Are these "barebones" PC's any good? These don't come with all the "shitware" that the dell would does it? It seems I am able to get a much better specs, etc. by customizing these barebones ones rather than the dell. Please enlighten me! I won't really be gaming but if anything I would want to run some Valve games, such as TF2, Half Life 2 and what not.
Thanks
