Hey guys,
I know I posted before about gettin new stuff for my pc but my Dad told me if i want a whole new pc he would pay half of it and that it would be better to get a real good new gaming pc ,instead of having to upgrade my current 5 year old one all the time, but i don;t know which computer I should get. I was thinkin of gettin the Dell XPS 700 like Payne cause that would cost me around 1200$ since i pay half of it.
I am lookin for a computer with price around 2500$ but I heard that the Dell XPS 700 takes forever to get shipped and that if I were to build one myself I could get a lot better stuff for the same price...and since i don;t know nothin about computers my uncle said he could put it all together for me so i won;t have any problems about screwin anythin up.
Just tell me what kind of stuff I can get for around that price
Thx

I'm building a mega rig with about the same price in mind (maybe a bit more), PM me in a couple of days and I'll share my rig specs with you. :rolleyes:

Hey guys I also found this computer that is a little expensive but my dad might let me buy it if I can reduce the price somehow.
Here is the link and tell me if there is a way I can maybe spend less money ( by customizing it) by like 200$ and still keep the computer just as good or maybe I could just buy the hardware one by one and build it myself or get it built in a couple of hours by someone instead of having to pay the people from the site for labour and shipping

WHAT A RIP-OFF! Honestly.. That has to be one of the most overpriced rig found online that I have ever seen (excluding Alienware).
You're best off building your own, trust me. You can build a PC at least twice as good as that spending less than half that amount EASILY.
Your choice though :rolleyes:
