Is THIS computer any good for the price after rebates? It's for a friend. He knows he will have to upgrade the psu and video card after he gets it, but is this a very good deal?
 
my friend bought a comp like that but they didnt give him an expansion slot aka pci-e x16 and agp..so i'd think again.
 
I'm all for building yourself, but just for clarification, you cannot build a comparable x2 4600+ rig from Newegg for $500.

Using the cheapest options for only CPU, RAM, MOBO, HDD, and operating system runs $625, not including shipping. That doesn't include case, PSU, or, keyboard and that is with a PC Chips MOBO!

So, it may not be that bad of a deal; just replace the MOBO and GPU when you get it...
 
He bought the one at Circuit City, but can't use it because they didn't have the monitor. He's looking at buying THIS video card, and I suggested THIS psu to him. Thoughts?? Opinions??
 
HIPRO, wtfs that?

Make looks pretty crap to me TBH, search up one of the "what makes of psu are good" threads an go buy one of the decently made power supply's:)

That thing you're looking at there probably doesn't have anything better than 26A on the 12V(s), and looking at the price it looks like it wont last long either, thats what, like £20

Sounds almost as bad as Q-tec to me, and believe me, you definetly don't want to be in the hands of someone like that company, just google Q-tec power supply blew up;)

Most people write a review as soon as they get the product working. It might not last more than 3 months. Spend a few more bucks and get a reputable brand.

Eh...besides the case and stuff, its half decent. But it'll use pretty bad components.
