New PC

[evo-lution ßÄЯ]

So i am in need of a need computer that can run my games again. sadly laptops aren't made to run like a tower. so if you guys or girls have built your own or bought your own id like your opinions on what to get! cause this laptop is making it hard for me to want to game

I always build my own computers. I personally don't trust any store bought computers because you don't know what your gettign and there is very little room for upgrades. Where as if you build your own computer the sky is the limit for upgrades. I personally stick with Crucial for memory, because they are owned my Micron who makes the memory, Asus for motherboards, AMD for CPU, and Hitachi for HDDs. Now as for video cards it depends on what you want you can go either ATI or nVidia, same with Chipsets on the motherboard.

But all of this is my personal Opinion, everyone has a different one.

*EDIT*

I always but my stuff from Newegg.com some people prefer tigerdirect.com,but I like Newegg!

There is a thread about this in the Medical Supply office. Come on over. There are a lot of good things there. First, find your budget, then we can see what we can do.

Hey, how much are you willing to spend?

[evo-lution ßÄЯ]

im willing to spend alot... once i have the money lol. right now i want a basic idea of the price and what im gonna get

[Ford 1st MRB]

Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz = 290.00 CPU

EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 = 185.00 Motherboard

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 = 140.00 Memory

ZEROtherm CORE92 Socket 1156/1366 HDT Cooler = 34.00 CPU Cooler

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower = 110.00 Case

WD Black 1 TB = $90.00 (nice HD Dillon) HD

EVGA 01G-P3-1372-TR GeForce GTX 460 Superclocked (Fermi) 1GB = 240.00 Video Card

LITE-ON Black 4X BD-ROM 8X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA = 60.00 Blu-Ray ( I own this and not one complaint)

LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R = 25.00 Burns DVD and CD

SAMSUNG XL2370-1 Charcoal Gray 23" 2ms Full HD HDMI LED = 300.00 I own this monitor as well, love it.

Antec TPQ-850 850W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified = 140.00 Power Suppy

Total = 1512.00 plus shipping.

Add some extra money for stuff like:

An HDMI cable for the monitor. You will need one of these for the blu ray player to run movies in full 1080p. It also seems to make games look better.

A 6 pin power cord 10"extender for better cable routing (the power supply is in the bottom of the case).

Windows 7 64 bit, for the expanded memory capability.

Double your memory to 12 GB for an extra 140 bucks.

The power supply can run two of those video cards without any issues. Add a second video card for an extra 240 bucks.

It's all in what you want.

I like Ford's list but you can get the 930 at microcenter for 199.99 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_...duct_id=0331303

and I personally would go with the ATI Radeon 5850 over the 460 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...1-330-_-Product
