Click to expand...

The Proccessor is pretty good/decent
The MOBO is decent
R.A.M. is a little slow, despite there being 4 gigs
Video card sucks
Standard/Big hard drive
I don't know much about CD Drives, but x18 seems slow
Good case
PSU might be cheap/poor quality, and It doesn't leave much room for upgrading (kinda low wattage)

I just did a newegg check on all those items, and came up with an equivalent/better comp for about 500$. If having it prebuilt is worth 170$, then buy it. I wouldn't.
 
well right now i have a pentium 3 lol and i am really wanting to play newer games i did know that the ram and the game card aint the best i fig i can just upgrade them down the road .will this comp handle like wow and new 1st person shooters dont matter if not on high settings be happy just to play them
 
Don't use the power supply that comes with cases; they are super low quality.
IMO, i would ditch the 8500gt and get a ati 3850 instead. It is a few more dollars, but it offers way more gaming capabilities. The ram is a little over the top for that setup, but more is always better.
The 8500gt is not a gaming card at all. Sure it will handle WoW, but newer games it wont play, maybe on low. I would just save and get the ati 3850, you will be much happier with it.
 
thats all the stuff that comes with it its a deal on ebay.okay ill stay away from it i wanted to go intel processor anyways.i just dont wanna spend 1000 on a comp to play new games.if any one could find me a built comp at good price thanks.i was going to build but i dont wanna deal with doa and all the probs that come with it .i have os so i dont need one installed i just want a built comp thats rdy to install os and play games lol
 
well can someone please point me in right direction for a comp for less than 1000 that will play most new games mainly want wow to run smooth and prob be playing first person shooters and 3d war games like starcraft2 command and conquer 3.if i have to build on so be it lol i dont really want to build cause if i buy 900 in parts and put together and dont work ill go nuts lol. any help on who sells gaming comps good prices ?
 
oscary will all them parts handle games out now ?? and should i wait to look for all these parts in month wen all new stuff comes out. o and does the chipset matter alot like i was trying to go nvidia chipsets but if the intel just as good thats fine i guess.just tring to play games and internet so thats all i need this comp for
 
 
Much better then your first posted comp. That's a decent gaming comp. The 1650s arent normaly that great for gaming, but in crossfire it will be decent. Pretty much the best gaming comp you can get for the price prebuilt.
 
ok thank u everyone for help i think ima get it.its only 600 that aint too much i just wanna play games im tired of waiting.my old piece of crap p3 1 ghz dell sucks lol
 
hey guys im back lol i didnt buy the 600 dual ati ones lol screw that i guess ima just dish out bout 1000$ on comp guna try getting sli and just run one 8800 geforce for now.but thanks for support i guess im back were i started lol i just dont wanna go threw doa parts.thats only reason i was guna buy built comp but screw it .im just guna start looking for sli nvidia chipset
 
yea im building my own so whats the best 680i.i know the 780i are coming out or are out but i dont have the money to be buying the latest stuff i was guna get a asus 680i p5n32-e plus cause they under 200 or less if u can find on ebay.or if i can find a striker 680i cheap but if im guna spend 300 on striker might as well get the 780i's since the bout same price as striker.
