Custom PC

Well Synge I'll give you some Rep and donate some GP to ya if you can put together a badass gaming PC for me at or below $1500. Can you do that for me, bro?

Just copy and paste whatever you need for me to have a look at it! Or even just list out the things I need to pick when I go through the component lists!

Sure man, not a problem. A quick question: Ya need any accessories? Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers etc..?

naw man I got all that. I just need the computer itself :)

Mouse, Keyboard, headset, all that junk I have.

I agree with Synge in regards to the Alienware shout; you pay for the logo and casing, and not the system specs. They're high on the PC fashion tables, but not on the PC performance tables.

I went crazy and still saved you 250 bucks :P This is if you want best-of-the-best ****. I could put together a rig for around $900 that would max every game out and coming out.

Case - CM HAF 932 Adv Full Tower

CPU - i5 2500K Quad Core and Unlocked

GPU - Radeon HD 6970. This stomps the hell outta your current card, ****s on it and lights it on fire :Pt

MOBO - Asus P8P67

HDD - Western Digital Black 1TB 7200 RPM

RAM - 4GB Kingston HyperX. You don't need more than 4 gigs for gaming but if you want a bit more, Corsair has a 6GB deal for like 80 bucks I think I saw

PSU - Corsair Pro 750 watt (it's modular, woohoo)

Opt Drive - Light-On DVD Writer

OS - Win 7 Premium 64bit

Grand Total: $1333.90

This rig is a friggin beast, I'd be jealous :P

Edit, item went out of stock in just this short amount of time... Updated list costs a bit more.

This for the most part, but that's really only if you're getting a pre-made computer. I admit I payed way more than I needed to for my laptop, but I wouldn't have gotten half as good specs if I'd gone another route.

Thanks man! I only have 1 more question:

How do I begin customizing a PC on Newegg.com? And are they reliable as to shipment etc?

I think you'd have to just buy the parts and build it yourself. Linux would know, ask him. lol

Thanks for all the help guys!

Sorry for derailing the topic, Jayhmmz :D

And thanks for getting me away from Alienware, I figured that the machines must've been pretty damned decent for them to be so expensive. I see now that its all just overpriced. Thanks for getting me something BETTER for less, that's just awesome.

+rep to those I can give it to.

Not a problem bro. And yeah, you'd have to order the parts separately, and as far as reliability goes, Newegg is a very reputable company, never have to worry when ordering from them.

If you don't wanna build it yourself, you could take it to a computer store and they'd put it all together for a reasonable price, so you'd still be savin cash.

If you've never built a PC, it's not hard at all, and you can find guides all over the net. I could most likely answer any questions you have, too.

Edit: Sorry Jay, I feel like an ass, cause I haven't even commented on your review yet :O I'll read it later tonight. :)
