computer 1
This:
computer 2
Or this:
computer 3
So which one would you say is best based on price and hardware? And if they are all generally bad could someone recommend something else?
Thx

ordered 9800xt online 433bucks
all of this i bought at tigerdirect:
19inch crt monitor 1600x1200 at 170bucks
soyo barebone kit (case, motherboard, 3 fans, powersupply) for 90 bucks after rebates
logitec wireless mouse/keyboard 30 bucks
cintre desk speakers 20 bucks
sound blaster sound card 50 bucks
200 gig harddrive 150 bucks
2 512 ram 160 bucks
3.06 pentium 4 processor 150 bucks after rebate
so as you can see thats cheap as hell. and even cheaper if you ordered online from say newegg. so if you can find a store like that, you will save a good 1000-2000 bucks on that stuff. but if you dont feel like waiting all that time, go for it, you have 4000, and choice 3 which i think is the best is 2700. also you dont get warranty or anything like that if you custom. so theres goods and bads. time vrs convenience. either way, youre gonna have a kickass computer soon!

how do u not no how to build a computer? Buy the parts (newegg.com) Open the door when the UPS man rings the doorbell. Smack him in the balls. Put the stuff in a case. The end
i think me and mass have the same understanding of pc's
1. turn on (easy a big button)
2. wait for desktop to appear
3.double click vent-double click counterstrike!
4. YAY now we can play

yea, like its that simple. Its simple when you know what the parts are and what your doing but dont act like someone who doesnt know much about computer hardware will just able to put together a pc, and then make it run.

get a AMD processor (i dont have one) but i would recomend at least a 3700, other people will tell you more abut this
either the new ATI 1800 series or the nvidia 7800gtx vid card
2 512 slots of ram, i hear corsair is good. i dont even know what kind i have. but 1 gig is good to have in all
you wouldnt need more than 160 gigs for a hardrive
id put more money in to a monitor that gets you 1600 resolution, thats what i get and tehres a big difference than 1024 that most get you. get a nice 22 inch crt for 150 bucks, or a 19 inch flat screen for 400-600bucks depending on res
logitec mouse and keyboard (i love the wireless)
speakers-just look around, get what fits you
but seriously just look around for the newest and highest rated parts, thats what i do. and youll have a nice computer. get maybe 2 cooling fans, and then a heatsink or something else thats quieter. theres a new sound card out, id get that, not ssure what then name is but theres some nice reviews about it everywhere since its new.
get what ever case you want bc youre getting everything seperate, get somehting that looks pimpin and make sure it has the room
you can get the best of the best of every part for less than 3000 by the way. sorry i dont know the names of the parts. but i hope this gets you thinkin

First one of these cases.
Case
These have six fans in them. Will make a hell of a racket but will keep it nice and cool. But if you want quieter. Here you go....
Just pick which one you like the best
Motherboard
Motherboard
Processor
FX57
FX55
If you don't want these there are plenty of other cheaper options from Amd. Like a Amd athlon 64 3800.
Memory
This is your personal preference. Kingston and Corsair are good brands.
Corsair 1GB stick
There is faster memory out there, but in my opinion two of these will do just fine.
Video Card
Nvidia
ATI
Hard drives
Hard Drive
You could go larger and faster if you wanted to.
Monitor
Lcd or crt. Whatever you like.
Dvd Drive
Here is an example. You can match the color of you case if you want. Just pick another. They are pretty easy to pick out.
DVD
Floppy Drive
Does anyone still buy these. But anyways they haven't changed much since forever. So im sure you are capable of picking one out if you need it.
Processor Cooling
Water or Fan. Just read reviews. I personally don't trust water but whatever.
Umm I'm kind of tired so if there is something I left out or if someone knows of a better part, just add on. Hope I have been of some help.
later.
