so overall, should i get it?

Looks good, except it is 64bit. Older games might not work on 64 bit. But i would not buy it, id rather build my own with same specs and might even come out cheaper.

yeah but i dont exactly know how to build a pc

 

oh and turns out, that was the US site, found the australian site and its about twice ($4365.69) as much lol, its updated now

 

and as long as it can run games as old as COD4 then i wont have a problem

Building a computer is really simple. It is not complicated as it sounds. All you have to worry about really is making sure all the parts are compatible with each other. Really simple.

i would say 6/10. You can do way better buiding a computer from scratch.

ok, only problem is, i wouldnt have a clue on how to build it or where to get the parts from, i know next to nothing bout computers...lol

it will be fine for gaming.

 

it will be better however, if you get a discrete(seperate) video card, instead of the integrated one, it has its own processor, a specialized graphics processing unit, and will not have to share cpu with other programs.

dont buy one build one . pleeeeease

 

 

all computers are build with oem prodocts thats terrible compared to normal products .

 

building a computer is like lego if you go to a online store you can choode components and when you rlly want they assemble it for you for well maybe 25 dollar or euro

its so dammed easy to build one

 

1 Intel Core i7 920 € 228,50

1 OCZ Platinum XTC 6GB DDR3-1333 CL7 triple kit € 135,00

1 Optiarc AD-7240S-0B € 18,61

1 Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB € 68,85

1 Corsair HX750W € 118,80

1 ASUS EAH5850/2DIS/1GD5 € 242,99

1 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 € 241,27

 

like this component and use your own os

7 out of 10.

 

but do you really want to pay that much for a pc?i mean lets be reasonable here. you could get the same pc for about 1000 $ or even cheaper. if you don't know how to build it there's plenty of services who offer that so it shouldn't be too hard

[killzone]

ive found a cheaper one (by about 1000 bucks) but its only i little bit worse than that one

 

and i cant go to just any website and order a computer no matter how cheap or good it is, my mum will only order off sites that she thinks are legit, like Dell or HP

 

oh and just so everyone knows, its not american money, its australian, stuff is always more expensive here

[Dan]

I build my own using IBuyPower, I would highly recommend

 

If I had the money and time I would build my own

[detoren]

sent me 1200 i will build and sent it . and gimme your moms phone nr ^^ .

[killzone]
