BF2S Forums Good rig?

its nice, but for 1491$ you could probably do better. did you price these yourself, or is this a pre-build price?

Is this a new machine or just a couple upgrades to your existing one. If you don't mind me asking how much are you spending on the P4.

Ram is a definite. I wonder about the performance increase of the CPU but for 26 bucks why not.

Well its a pre-built computer, and then you tell them what you want.

The pre-built computer is $1262 (without GST), and I added another $26 dollars for a better CPU and $119 for 2GB's or ram. So the total is $1491 (including GST)

Kmarion, it is a new machine. This computer I have now is 5 years old, it wouldn't hold up to the upgrades.

Ah I see, you are looking at a semi-custom.
Is this a local company ?

But YEA FUCK INTEL.       But thats also personnal choice.   As a tech i know whats best.   it aint intel

Yeah, I was thinking Dual Core, I don't know how much that would cost to upgrade though.

I can always go back and ask how much a dual core processor would cost.

Hey, do any of you guys know a website where you can take a stock PC and put upgrades on it and get a final cost? Kinda like what you can do at the Slienware website, but I can't afford an Alienware.

Is ibuypower viable to actually use, or should I just piece it together myself (never done it before)
