Usually you post and leave it alone for a bit . People do eventualy post somthing sooner or later. Thing is most people who come here build thier own or are learning to do so. Since you have 4K and really want to purchase a top notch system then here is a couple of links to Top Notch builders.

4K? duuuuude!!!!!! you could get a 4800+ and two 7800GTX's in SLI! You might even want to look into liquid cooling since youve got the money.

My rig below was $1800, I'm just starting to build it.

Thanks, but I didn't really like anything I saw, or maybe I just didnt look enough. Are there any places where you tell them what you want and they build and set it up for you?

BTW my plan is with all the money I collect on my birthday I will get my relative to put up the same much as I do to buy one. I have like 1.5 k right now and plan on getting around 1k.

You should wait and get the new ATI series video cards. Put those into Crossfire and you would have a sweet rig.

 

[illvizion]

Bleh I cant wait.

 

[illvizion]

Ok, can you guys help me out? What is the best I can get for 3k? That comes with everything I need.

Sure it will run the games, but for $2200 you can do alot better, especially on the video side. Do a custom build and save loads of money, it's easy.

New gaming system

Hey, I'm looking at a MX-57 or a MX-48 on this site:

www.multilinkcomputers.com

Do you guys think that these systems will run too hot? Is 350W PSU enough?

Also which should I go for - the dual core or the FX-57?

Please be more specific. If I can do better, what can I do better with? Where can I do a custom build?

 

[illvizion]

Alright, i've thought it over... My new budget is 3,000 dollars (including monitor, mouse, speakers, ect.). I want a computer, that I dont have to build. I want a computer that is able to handle several games without lag. To be able to play games like Fear, Sims 2, Battlefield 2, WoW (Is there a PC even capable to play in IronForge without exploding?) without any latency. Where would I order it?

Please, any help would make me a happy person.

 

[X24]

wow.....just wow.......build it yourself, seriously, you'll save tons and it is possible to get exactly what you want easy. not to mention the major preformance gained.

 

[illvizion]

I don't know how to build a computer.
