Are you looking for video cards or pc?

If pc, check out this link: http://www.pcstats.com/ShoppingList.cfm
The lists shows much better value then buying packaged pc. To learn what is the best, search for reviews on each parts in the list. Also, you can learn how to put a pc together pretty much from infos in the internet.

If graphic cards, google for best graphic cards. Usually the higher priced one is the better.

Could PC - desktop or laptop? Should be the question?

 

[Jase123]

also if you buy a pre-built one and you want to add parts and you do then you will lose your warranty, where as if you build one and one part fails on you then you can change it for another plus building one is more fun

desktop, but i need to infor me about video cards memories ect. to build up my knowledge and to build 1 my self

How much you want to spend?
Then you can go to www.pricewatch.com and see how prices are. What I do is to get a deal on CPU and MOBO (motherboard) I get MSI boards which I prefer, never had a problem with them. I am planning on building 5th new system for 2007. Cost $400, I mostly go to computer fair to get a deal, then get the best price on HDD and RAM. Video Card depends how what you want to do with the PC.

Gamer PC - video card with 16x or better PCI-E are much faster than the old 8x AGP. PCI-E have come down in price also.

HDD SATA II 500GB HDD

CASE with PSU 500 or higher

But you see how much you want to spend is the question. You might find buying a desktop is cheaper than to build one. But you should see what you want on pricewatch, then go to newegg and buy.com for pricing. Check out systems already build at HP, compaq, an etc..

See what cost matches what you have funds for... If price is no limit you can build the system to what you want to put in to it.. There are game systems already build Alienware and DELL have them. But they're not cheap.

Hi AngeloflighT,

Here is a complete list of parts for a gaming computer to be built as an example. The actual list is pretty much the same with a few difference parts and venders. The price shows very much the best deals on the market now. I came up with this list from a whole weekend of research and learning.

To the experienced, please comment on this list and let me know what do you think of it. I'll be appreciate you greatly.

Sounds like you know what you want, the question when you're ready to buy the parts..

 

[Phenique]

if you are going for a gaming PC, perhaps you should wait till PCI 2.0 comes out in the next fews months, and the nVidia 9 series which will feature 1 gb of GDDR4 and 512 bit memory.

 

[KingCody]

perhaps you should wait till PCI 2.0 comes out in the next fews months

I assume you're referring to PCIe 2.0, since PCI 2.0 came out 14 years ago

 

[Jase123]

pci-e 2.0 should be out soon yes...

 

[Phenique]
