Guize, find me a computer.
« on: July 17, 2009, 07:40:19 pm »

These are the ones i've been looking at.

Out of those two I'd get the second one, it has a better processor, and although it has less RAM, it has two free RAM slots, and costs $50 less (RAM is cheap, too)  For $42 you can beat it in RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231207

That would give it better RAM and processing for about $8 less.  I don't know much about the graphics cards though, maybe someone else can help you there.

6GB of ram is a bit to much unless you plan to have 10 windows of TF2 up at the same time, while watching a blu-ray movie on it. Windows Vista = Fail so you need to use that free upgrade to Windows 7. ATI Radeon HD 4850 is a decent card. Overall ok.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227125

4GB of ram is more than enough to run any high end game right now, and you could always upgrade that. The processor is better that above, which is good. Again upgrade to Windows 7. The NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT is a BIT better than the above. Overall good.

IMO I would suggest the the iBUYPOWER Gamer Extreme.

Also, why not customize a PC that fits your needs than a pre-determned one?

iBUYPOWER
CyberPower

(Same parent company but they differ in some componets)

well i just want to be able to get it and play it soon lol... I've been having TF2 withdrawal... as far as custom building goes i would most definitely forget something and it involves a lot of time and knowledge that i don't have.

Spycrab means getting one custom built on their site, i.e. picking out the parts and letting them put it together for you. Takes the guess-work out of it for you, and you get the parts that you want. Personally, I would go with the second one from Newegg, mainly because it is cheaper and has the 4850 in it, which is much better than the 9500 GT. Plus it has a MIR right now too. However, the processor in the first machine is a lot better than the second one's offering because it's a Core i7 920, and those are beasts. You can't really look at the clock speeds when it comes to the Core i7 CPUs because the have a lot of overhead for overclocking, and they have Hyper threading with usage of up to 8 logical cores. And for the price, that's a steal. But I would look into getting an upgrade on the graphics for the Cyberpower comp.

The second one is basically what I built, but I have a better processor. That one has the Phenom 920, I have the 955. Ideally though, you should get the first one and put in a good graphics card.

That first one is good, but the graphics card is a little weak. Why not build from scratch?

Lulz. If I have to be labeled an AMD fanboy, then worms MUST be labeled an Intel fanboy. Its only fair, as, really, I dont think either of us deserve fanboy status. Me more so then worms, but still ...:P

I'm not a fanboy. It is just that Intel is superior at the moment. If you want to build a high performing gaming computer, Intel is the way to go. My old computer was an AMD because that was what was good at the time.

Just saying though, you are more of an Intel fanboy then I am an AMD fanboy.

Not like being a fanboy is good at all. And besides, we've already established that Intel is better like over 9000 times already. And, if it isn't already obvious to you, I don't care.
