 Posted: Tue, 20 May 2008 15:25:11 Post Subject: New System Build |
  |
|
So, I did an upgrade to my system that I think will buy me some time, but the poor wife is stuck on an AGP/Socket A system and needs an upgrade.
I've been looking back and forth and can build a system for right around the same money using nVidia/Intel and AMD/ATi.
I'm looking for preferences, suggestions, etc.. HAS to be under $1k (Entire system, not including monitor), but shooting for under $800. Looking for build suggestions for an all purpose rig, that includes being able to run latest MMO style games (She won't do FPS, so no worries there).
And..... go.

If I was her I'd go for the new alienware gaming system:
http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Area-51_7500/area-51_specs.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51-7500-GC&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT#pdp-nav
It's a wee bit above your price, but isn't your wife worth it?
And with up to 4TB of storage just think of all the pr0n she could download for you!

Ok, that's an option, but I don't think that case is gonna be worth it. It's probably worse than the case we got for her already. 
Others?

Ahhh shoot... I had it in my cart and I accidentally hit buy. Whoops... I can't believe I did that. 
I guess on the bright side the problem is solved, no?
