hzsogood Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well, I'll say right off the bat I'm not very tech saavy with computers, but I wanted something that will last a few years, and still be a quality system.. This setup will run me about $1150-$1200 Depending on sales and where I purchase but this is basically what I have chosen so far and just wondering what you guys though.. Not SUPER into COmputer gaming as I have never had a computer able to handle gaming... Actually this is my first ever desktop But want something capable in case that changes So any suggestions, or advice would be appreciated , thanks guys!! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/comatoast/saved/1uLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 if you have a microcenter near you, i would definitely go there for just the intel CPU. its cheaper than anywhere else on the internet (new). they literally lose money on every cpu they sell because they expect you to buy like a graphics card along with it, which is how they make the money back.

Yep!!! They have my CPU/MOBO combo for $300 .. Im not buying everything from that site , just something to show the setup Microcenter is like a 2 hr drive for me, but would be well worth it just for that alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakin Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Do you have the cost of windows included, at least in your head? Or do you already own a copy? Also I don't have a problem with you case I just have a love affair with the Define R4. Just have a look at it same price range. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

beaker Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I wouldnt worry about getting a blue ray, unless you think you're going to actually be watching blue ray movies.I have 5 of those wifi adapters, they're boss. I would get the H80 or H100 to go with that case, Everything looks pretty good. I always cringe at spending that much on a computer. I dont think I've ever spent that much at once anyway. I'm super picky about deals, and I get a lot of hardware for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WiFi card/adapter I picked just seemed awesome. Couldn't really find a bad review anywhere Yup. I'm a newb. What's the h80 and h100? Trust me man. I'm not even close to a gamer and I always told myself I never needed the best. But after owning laptops that shit the bed after 2 yrs and being plagued with bloat and weak parts for a premium price. . I just wanted something that was guaranteed to be a mid-high end machine til at least 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
