Need Help with New PC
 

I need some serious help. I got into gaming using a Compaq Presario that i got at Price Club. I have maxed the thing out, upgraded everything, and I need more. One of my boys just got one from http://www.rcybertech.com, and was suggesting that i do the same thing, he loves his. He is also new and has money to burn. I dont have this luxery though. Can anyone help me out, let me know what would be a good setup for an awesome gaming PC? are the computers on that site any good? thanks. offtopic:

No.

Buy from Dell.

dell sux0rs
get a custom

Build your own. It's a hell of alot cheaper and you don't have to buy everything at once. I got an athlon XP 2600+ for $100 and a Gigabyte K-7 Triton Mobo for $50 off of E-bay. Thats basically a whole new system when you throw in your other other devices. Just keep adding newer components as you come up with the cash.

Build your own. Dell is overpriced for what they are.

There are many online guides for how to do it. [url:5e523]http://www.anandtech.com[/url:5e523] has a guides section, try it. They are infantly upgradable because the componants can be replaced one at a time at later points. Unlike company computers which actually make upgrades harder, in some cases impossible. Like when compaq used it own rail system to mount HD's, CD roms, and used "bigfoot" HD's. You had to buy parts from them to install new crap, and the wiring sometimes didnt support it whatso ever, so you had to fix that. Over all stock PC's are a hastle you can do away with, all by obtaining some knowledge, which never hurt anyone.

I have always been told that dell sucks. I know Compaq sux, made that mistake before. These people on that site say that they offer upgrading, sounds similar to Dell. Thought that was good. If i do build my own computer, where would i go to get cheap parts? Thought Athlon sucked too? Thanks for the replies guys. fire2:

The best all-around pre-built system company is Dell. For gaming, I would recommend Alienware or Falcon Northwest, but they are out of your price range, as you said you don't have money to burn. If you want to build your own, go for it, but you made it sound like you wanted to buy a new one and eventually upgrade yours.

Just trying to find a good start. If i was going to build my own, where would i find parts cheap? Is there a place? If i wanted to build a good computer with the components that are in the Rcybertech computers, about how much would it run me? Thanks hellfire:
