Best place to buy a PC (no OS)?

Pages: << < (2/8) > >>

nostrebor:

I was building PCs for work from newegg, but they have had some smokin deals lately on complete PCs, especially if you are ok with AMD processors. I have never had an issue with Newegg. Perfect service is the standard.

Roughy:

I spent right around $200 at TigerDirect on a pretty decent 1.8 system.  I already had the hard drives and picked up some eBay RAM to get me into the thing for right around $240.

Haven't missed a beat.  But stay away from rebates, like everyone says.  They have some decent stuff, and I think I started out by searching on the Wintergreen Systems...

Ninten-doh:

I liked the deals at geeks.com, but the whole "integrated or PCI or AGP" crapshoot doesn't thrill me. 

Roughy - does the 1.8 play most games?  Maybe I'm being stupid for targeting a 2.8 or better, especially at my price point.

I'll look at the newegg deals in the morning.  I've had very good experiences with them in the past as well.

1.8 with decent vid card will run most games, but you'll have to turn the graphics way down on most newer games, but I doubt it'll play many games that come out in the next year or so.  If you can scrounge up another $50-100 in the next month or so, I'd buy the machine with the best cpu and most memory now and upgrade to a $50-100 vid card as soon as you can.  If you won't be able to get any more money then get the 1.8 with a decent vid card.
