I can build you one, but you have to give me time to get the parts list. just built one for a friend, $950, plays CoD4 max graphics 45 FPS and crysis at about 30 FPS. great PC, gatta find the parts again though.

Ok, but don't buy them yet..I just want to see a list of parts, and prices..I'm not sure, I just want to see if someone can give me a better deal..

You'll have to get a decent Core2Duo. Let's say an E8500, or a decent Core2Quad(205$/180$). Let's say a Q8200. A decent board that's also cheap, like say, a. Intel DP35DP or an Intel DQ45CB(109$/128$). You need 4gigs of Memory(176$). A 320G 7200 RPM HD (70$). A good case (60$)/ Cooling/DVD Writer (100$). Adding all the more expensive parts leaves you with 739$. That means you can get GTX 260 896MB DDR3; with some cash left over too. If you go with the cheaper ones from that ones that I listed, they'd add up to 695$. Meaning that you can get GTX 280 1GB DDR3 for an extra 15$ or so. Those are the according to the prices here. Prices can be either higher, or more than likely cheaper where you're at. Hope advise was any good. Either rig can play any game out now, and can last a lot of time.

it consits of dual core processor, 4GB of dual channel RAM. 4-6 fans. ATX mobo, windows vista and ATI HD graphics. all parts can be replaced. i have to get the list from my associate. should have it by tomorrow hopefully.
he doesnt need that many, they come stock with the case. half of them are off and covered. our buisness uses the same cases for everything, which makes it much easier. and to goodguy, if you think your such a hotshot, lets see yours bud.
thats wierd, i thought u were a PC guru.
the PC you built is pretty good. i want to send you my list pretty bad. im not sure about the compatibilty, havent checked ur OS or anything yet. I will be able to help you out more tomorrow when i am awake.
Do you actually know how to build computers? or you want someone to do it for you?
Well, everyone else is too busy arguing over who's the biggest computer genius to actually help you, so I designed a desktop for you. I uploaded a word file of the shopping cart.
3.0GHz AMD Quad-core processor
ATI Radeon HD4870 (awesome video card, will run Crysis wonderfully)
1TB hard drive
etc etc.
It's an awesome computer, after mail-in rebates and shipping it's just over $800 (including Vista).
If someone else wants to build the computer for you, that's cool, but I can build it for you if you want. If you want me to build it, just order the parts and PM me, then I'll send you my address. You can just have it shipped to me and I'll build it when it arrives.
I'll ask for extra money to ship it back to you and for my services, but it would still be significantly cheaper than buying this computer in the store. I'll charge $100 for my labor, and I imagine shipping it to you would cost about $50, so I'd just ask you to PayPal me $150 and then I can take care of it from there.
By the way, some of those combo deals and sales might end soon (they tend to end at the end of each month), so you're better off making the decision sooner rather than later. Not to rush you, it just happens that you started inquiring at the end of the month!

Anyways, let me know
Wow, really good. How do you find these, do you go through the list? set a price range for each piece of the comp?? I spent a while making my list..If I remember, mine was about 870 after rebate..
Also, how do you check compatibility. For example, do you look at the motherboard specs, and make sure the pins match;Motherboard is 240 pin, and processor 240 pin, so its compatible?
Can DDr2 parts mix in with a comp using DDr3..? I've been reading a lot about this.
Number1SuperGuy, I currently use a store bought HP Pavilion elite m9340f, which is decent. The weakest point, or the "bottleneck" seems to be the weak graphics card..I might just change that out.

Changing the graphics card on a storebought system can be risky business. Most of the time the power supply (and everything else they use, for that matter) is just the bare minimum for that particular setup. You can buy a new graphics card if you want, but just don't be too shocked if the computer doesn't boot for lack of power.
There are things you have to check for, compatibility-wise. You're best off buying exactly the RAM the motherboard suggests, for example, if it suggests DDR2 1066, then that would be the most effective RAM in that example. You can go with a lower number if you want, like DDR2 800, but it won't be quite as fast as the 1066. Honestly, though, you probably won't be able to tell the difference between the two.
For video cards you want to make sure that the card is compatible with the mother board. What you're looking for is AGP, PCI Express, PCI Expressx16, PCI Express 2.0. That's the order of how good they are, with AGP being the oldest and worst, and PCI Express 2.0 being the newest and best. Most video cards nowadays are PCI Express 2.0, so make sure you have a motherboard that is also PCI Express 2.0.
The processor also has to be compatible with the motherboard. For that you want to look at the socket type. Just pick out your processor first and then find out what socket type it is. Intel processors will look something like LG 775, AMD processors will look something like AM2+.
As for how I design my computers, I always start with the case. You want a case with fans built into it, because installing fans sucks, but you want to make sure there's no pre-installed power supply. Pre-installed power supplies are almost always garbage. For the power supply you'll want something at least 500w, and don't go for the cheapest ones! Always look at customer reviews to make sure the power supply is good. After all, a bad power supply can short out every single piece of your computer.
DVD drive and hard drive you can basically get whatever you want. They're almost all compatible with everything else.
I think I covered everything, but keep asking if you have any more questions
I would like at least 750 GB of memory HD
Basically a really good gaming computer, and over all desktop. If possible, for it to come with an Operating system.
Spending $1099 at most.
If it's from newegg, could you post a link to the shopping list with everything in it.
Thanks.

Dazzle us with your skills, then.

for those experts, is this decent?
are all the parts compatible?
I added vista, I need an OS
it says ur shopping cart is empty dude.
Not gonna happen.

In many of the reviews, I see that they use crap to ship them (explains the numerous free shipping). that they don't handle them very well.
Is it reliable?
I looked, at your list, and I can't see that the type is compatible?? It doesn't say Am2+ on the motherboard..
