After countless run in problems with my downstairs computer, I've come to the conclusion that it would be best to just scrap it. It's far to old, I believe I assembled it back in 2000, maybe '01? Currently running off a Intel Pentium 3 Processor. :grinthumb Not quite sure about the Graphics card, how would I find that information? Anyway, I talked to my cousin and he claimed that Dell has good computers at cheap prices. I checked it out, and looked under gaming. Now the first one I noticed was the XPS 600, probably because of it's sleek looking case. At $1,749 is it seriously worth it?
I customized it up a bit aswell, and came to a total of $2,618. Here's the specs -
Intel Pentium 4 Processor 650 with HT Technology (3.40GHz, 800 FSB)
Windows XP Professional
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz - 4 DIMMs
19 inch Ultrasharp™ 1905FP Digital Flat Panel
256MB Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX
160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/ dbl layer write capable
Sound Blaster Audigy™ 2 ZS (D) Card w/Dolby 5.1, IEEE 1394 capability
I have a feeling that Alienware would give me a better deal. If you guys have any input on where I can buy computer systems, it would be greatly appreciated. It should be mainly for gaming purposes, be able to play newest titles, and be roughly around $2,500. I know that at that price, I probably won't get much.
