I have an HP that runs great but I am thinking of getting a new one, but I want to get the very very best this time.

I agree with Stress. For a pre-built gaming rig, you can't go wrong with Falcon or Alienware. However, if you want to save a few bucks by building it yourself, we're more than willing to help you out with choosing your parts and how to get everything setup.STRESSTEST wrote:TLC, Alienware, Falcon Northwest are a a couple of companies that build nice machines. Dell's are cheap and reliable if you just need a basic desktop for doing things other then gaming.
If you can give us an idea of what you will be doing with it and a budget we can get a little more accurate for you.. Just the box? Or new monitor/kb/mouse also?
There's lots of parts places out there, one of the big ones being NewEgg. Another is Directron. Directron will also be able to piece together the parts you order (as long as you order enough for a computer to be created), as will some other places. Just in case you'd like to specify which parts go into your computer, but really don't feel comfortable doing it on your own.TrueLightGuild wrote:I would like to find a place that sells all the items to where you can build your own, but don't know if that is possible.
Oh ★■◆● man, with that kind of a budget you'd have a KILLER rig. Thats way more than you need to spend though.TrueLightGuild wrote:I have a Dell, and a HP.
They are fine for regular applications.
I want something for games.

I like to just open the box and start using the computer, so a ready built one one be great.
I agree about the OS. Mine is really wierd.
I will look into the places and names you have suggested.
I was thinking of spending anywhere from $2000 to $2500
Thanks
I wouldn't go Athlon 64 if I were you. They're changing socket designs very soon, so you'd be screwed over if you built a 64-bit AMD system right now.Krom wrote:Just for fun on newegg I configed a very fast athlon 64 system (with the exception of the video card because nothing new was out) for $4300.
Just to add to this:Kyouryuu wrote:The thing that ticks me off about Dell is that there is so much proprietary nonsense inside of one. Even the adaptor where the cooling fan plugs into the motherboard is proprietary (and it's a pretty cruddy fan to boot, meaning you'll be on the hook for future repairs). The components inside aren't that great either. Other than the Intel Pentium and motherboard and the Samsung DVD-ROM drive, I haven't heard of a single brand in there. They put cheap components inside and charge a premium price. I'd ignore them; I wouldn't buy from them again unless I needed a laptop.
You'd be better off building one yourself (which I'll probably wind up doing for my next machine) or going with Alienware or Falcon Northwest. I've heard good things about the latter.
