there site is confusing...and I know shit about acroynms and shit on computers...I know SOME..but it would be much easier to buy that AMD...Quoted post[/post]]
if you really dont want to build your own, a website called monarchcomputers will eliminate the hard parts. they put the cpu, ram, and motherboard together and update the bios to the current official ones for you. they also include half life 2 and some other stuff. i got my system there.
all you have to do then is get a harddrive, case, video card, and powersupply. slap the thing together, probably 1/2 to an hour since its ur first and then just install windows xp. the whole process will probably take 3-5 days to order, ship, and recieve. than about half a day to install the OS and whatever you want and do updates to your antivirus and windows xp.
really i think thats the way to go. you gain knowledge, better product, and experience. 600-700 bucks without monitor will really put you into a decent system that will be future proof for a while except DDR2. but that doesnt matter because they run higher speeds with higher lacentcies.
I just want to buy that AMD lol...no shipping I can pick it up and it will work with my WoW. Like I said im not a hardcore gamer I just want something that will last me...I surf the web and play some games..thats about it...I mean shit...this dell was keeping me occupied on almost all of my games for a while...WoW is just to extensive for it...after I install this 1GB RAM into this dell ill see if that helps my WoW if so I am just buying that AMD
