Uhhh guys u people are the best people to ask this about.........

What im searching for is a good fast gaming and multitasking speedy computer...... some people tell me i should be getting alienware (the intel area -51 5500) or just get a good custom comp off the internet....... cyberpowersystem.com or digitialstormonline.com or etc........ any GOOD opinions..... i really need help Guys :-(

make it about through the 1000-1600 $ area , or even lower :)

alienware.com

remake the urls correctly are:
http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/
http://www.digitalstormonline.com/
http://www.alienware.com/main_gaming.aspx
 
You could build your own "TOP OF THE LINE", kick *** system if you're willing to spend that much on it. Alienware are nice, but they are way overpriced.
 
Agreed. The only point of buying an alienware is to say that you have an alienware. Other then that its pointless, and a waste of money. Like sghiznaneck said, build your own. You'll gain a ton of experience and save alot of money.

LOL thats my post from another forum... Rage's post is a more powerful computer but of course mine is cheaper, especially if it's in american money.

I'm a REAL newb on chipsets so I can't tell you exactly what it does but I DO know that 975x and P965 are good chipsets. Also, if you want help building your computer, usually computer stores will build your computer for you if you bring in all the parts.
 
Yeah rage's computer post is my next build =D

Also bighead(kor) your age doesnt matter when it comes to building a computer, my brother was 11 when he built his 1st and I was 13 but then again some people thing younger kids are stupid or something...


Also if you want here is my build:

-Edit- Change the build to a more powerful computer -Edit-
 
A 975X chipset is a lot better certainly, but more expensive too, almost $70-100 more than the 945P. Plus, 975X chipsets usually have 2 PCi-E slots which are not so necessary. But in any case, here is a good-quality, cheap motherboard with a 975X chipset.
 
i may be able to buys these parts (if i get some proffessional help) i might go with Time paradox's build and form a new computer...... and just one question..... will it able to beat the alienware 5500 , area 51? http://www.alienware.com the one that time paradox suggested.....

srry lol im a real nub cuz im new to the whole "computer building" stuff ;but i dream to be able to do these things on my own..... ill ask best buy or something to build or put together this for me
 
That PC will destroy the Area 51 5500 without breaking into a sweat, owing mainly to more (as well as faster) RAM and the 7900GT.
 
Make sure that the motherboard is core 2 duo compatible. I would also prefer going with 2x 256 graphics cards and a sli/crossfire supporing mobo than just a 512 video card...
 
thanks to all

THANK U FOR POSTING THESE AND KEEP THE POSTS COMING!!! :-D i alrdy found a website that shows how to build a computer and it goes through all the indivisual steps...... and now all i have to do is find the parts....... i might go with one of ur ideas mostly maybe the one i thought about b4....... i hope the computer will run through WOW and BF2 like butter
 
I wanna know where a 12 year old gets $1600. I'm almost 40,and work 3 jobs, and I can't afford a screamer like that. I'm doin something wrong.

I wanna know why RAGE has an sata 74gb and an sata 160 in the system he spec'd out.Just curious if there was a reason for 2 HD's with such a major difference in size. If you run them in raid, don't they have to be identical size? Are there any tutorials here for ? like that.
 
I never mentioned putting them in RAID. And the 74GB drive is a WD Raptor 10000 RPM drive, which will boot up Windows from a cold boot in under 30 seconds. But yes, u need two identical HDDs for RAID.
 
Read and prepare-

Bighead- i did not have much guidance when I built my first computer. I read a lot of websites to learn.

So do your homework!

The most important idea is to figure out what choices limit other choices - if you select a certain cpu, you will be limited in the motherboards you can use. Once you select a motherboard, you have to get a videocard that will work with it, and ram that will work with it.

So, once you feel like you know what you are gonna select first, and what limits that makes, then you are ready.

You don't want to buy a good deal on a graphics card, then find out it won't work with the motherboard you selected.

Just keep reading a lot until you are confident.

I built my own a year and a half ago. It works great and I have no problems with it. It cost about $1,000. In a store, it would have cost $1,500. The only bad part was it takes a lot of time - you can't just buy it, then take it home and start gaming!

Good Luck!
 
lol where should i read????? wut should i do?????? i need some guidence....... somebody has to help me wit this ..... (IM FREAKIN OVERWHELMEND ) but in a positive way..... strangly uhhhhhh ill go look at website like u said...... THANK U ALL FOR THIS SUPPORT

ugh total = 1,400 :-D a little bit much but any of u got any better suggestions?
 
Try this hard drive instead of that one. Also, this mobo is a cheaper alternative to that Intel one. I recommend this RAM to go with it. I also think that this video card is a much more powerful option than the 7900GT for the same price (after the rebate on the GeForce card). Lastly, this PSU is a much better option than that measly 430W one. The CPU cooler is not necessary since the Core 2 Duo already runs pretty cool (unless ur planning on OCing it). Everything else looks good and I really like the case, it looks pretty cool.
 
uhhh the mobo u suggested pretty good ratings :-D lol comments suc about it tho :-( and also does the motherboard u suggested work with ati radeon chips because the vid card u suggested is ati..... isnt it?

and also thanks for complimenting the case i chose :-D love ya
people say that the mother board u chose sucks so maybe i won't go wit it............ suggestions?

new tech specs i think i lowered the price a bit......
