Best computer for your buck?

[Lucid]

Hey, I posted a computer earlier, and apparently it was too underpowered for its price.

 

Would anybody be kind enough to post what kind of computer I should be getting?

 

Like post the specs, and how much it costs. I'm looking for a decent gaming computer that can run games on HIGH with ease.

 

For around $800.

 

As of now, I have an AMD Athlon 2500+ ~1.9Ghz.

1G ram

Nvidia 7600 Geforce

30G Hard Drive

 

Lol, I can run CS:S on LOW with ease. So really, anything would be an upgrade.

 

I'd be willing to build my own computer.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

your link is posted at +1130$ ... did you read the part about $800?? and its amd....

Ima go ahead and guess someone playing with such an old machine has no intent to build his own..newegg has some good prebuilt that seem reliable so do a few other sites..

But you could always put parts together and ask one of your nerdy friends to help you out!! Or teach yourself! Ive been reading for a while now and it doesnt seem to be the hard to do..

LOL! Do you seriously think that computer you posted is better than an Intel at the same price? You are the funniest guy I have ever met.

 

I can build a i7 for that price and that i7 setup would be at least 10x better than the one you posted up. Sorry to say, but if continue your path of AMD, you will just get jipped. I can build a Intel setup with similar performance for ~700 dollars. That's 500 dollars ripped out of your wallet. Have fun getting ripped off by shit eating AMD.

 

EDIT: Best bang for the buck doesn't mean Antec 1200. When you go for a "best bang for the buck", you get any 30 dollar case that will have enough room for everything you have. And it also means 1 hard drive, not 2.

dude amd is doing just fine

i tried building an i7 like 8 months ago when i was planning on a computer it cost me around 2k so i went with amd and cost me abotu 1.6k with a top of the line GPU.

also that wasnt the antec 1200 it was the 902 its a mid tower that looks similar to 1200...learn to read

$300 =/= $30 wtf dude??

 

go with a dual core 8 series or a quad if you want to stay in your price range! get decent ram and one of the newer card and you'll have a blast (nvidia 275 or more) the only problem with that is you have no room for upgrading if you want that you should go with an i7
