This computer is 100% upgradable to any new CPU on the market including pentium D. It has an pci-express x16 for any of the new GPU. It also has DDR2 667Mhz as one its standards. This computer in also 100% 64-bit upgradable. CPU upgrade, 512MB memory upgrade, DVD-RW and a stealth Graphics card would set the computer on fire, but to start off with this is a good computer. This is the actual cost to build this computer, but it probably has come down in the last month.

Those were the two most useless posts I've ever seen I dont know if you did it to be funny but its not. Try doing something within someones price range...

@hells3000, you building it?

 

[brobertoy]

When you own a multi-million dollar company came talk to me, but for now I know I do so....go lay down.

 

[brobertoy]

I design systems big to small for a living...... hells3000 if $398.00 is out of your price range for getting a copmputer together I apologize.

its becuase you didnt fulling read the thread

out of the 2 you gave it was 389 well below his budget and 4495 which is well above his budget.

back on topic: hell wat do you plan on doing? gaming i assume?
do you need the extras like monitor,keyboard, etc.?

 

[brobertoy]

Sorry, I should have made my point a little clearer. When I look at a system I look at the bottom of the barrel which is usually ok stuff(Cheapest) and then I look at the best stuff(Most expensive). Somewhere in between is usually what you are shooting for. good price-good performance, but unfortunatly you either start at the bottom or you start from the top.

well if you dont know what you want, let someone else build it... As things will break...
