Is this a good computer for the money?

[Jack_Karverboy]

I have no idea how to build up my own computer since my dad's not here right now to help me out, so I'm looking for just a desktop package, how is this one? Looks pretty good to me... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat60700050018&id=1140393422679

thats nice but way overpriced you would be better off buying the same parts for cheap and having bestbuy build it for you it would be so much cheaper, but if you want to buy prebuilt go ahead

 

[Jack_Karverboy]

Yeah...It seems kinda overpriced cause I think the one I have right now was only about 1000$

Way overpriced. Velocity is like Alienware PC builders out here in Washington DC area, they build stuff for the rich and famous here. Keep shopping it will worth it.

 

[Jack_Karverboy]

Yeah, I was thinking maybe I'd just like buy a new motherboard, video card, more RAM, and a new processor for this computer, but since my third hard drive is nearly filled up and I'm not sure I can fit more into there, I was thinking I'd just set up a whole new computer, and it can be for gaming and everything but if I still want to get into this old one I can. I guess I'll try my hand at building a computer. If anything goes wrong I can just call the geek squad

 

[Qonfused]

That is seriously way overpriced. If you need help or whatever feel free to hit me up on Xfire or summat.

If you where willing to pay that much for that PC just get a Alienware. I dont know thier homepage but I know you can custom build one online.

 

[Jack_Karverboy]

Thanks guys...I probably won't be getting a new computer for a couple months so I have a while

 

[Barney Fife]

You can get a decent MOBO, CPU and GPU, recycle everything that you have now including case into your would-be-a-build-PC and save half of that money. That's what I like about building.

Just build it your self its not that difficult and after you build your computer youll feel like a man.

Amen.

 

[huntingbear]

Yeah, seriously, contact me or Qonfused if you need or want any info when you put together this system. I was on CastleCops forum frequently when I built my first computer

 

[hungryduck]

ugh and don't bother calling geek squad....they're a bunch of costly overpaid idiots....most of the time....

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Do what you want but I think that pc is waaaay too overpriced.

 

[Jack_Karverboy]

I was just joking about Geeksquad ...and where do you suggest I buy my parts at?

 

[Barney Fife]

here are the three most poplular E-Store sites.

1) http://newegg.com/

2) http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Home.jsp

3) http://www.mwave.com/mwave/index.hmx?

Make sure that you compare prices, as some may or may not have sale, free shipping and all sort of goodies.

good Luck.
