Agreed..

Otherwise...

700-800 Dollars is only gonna get you a decent computer.

Try a Dual Core Athlon/Intel Processor and 2GB+ RAM.

Make sure you get a good Video card as well...

With google any idiot could build a pc.

Putting together 2 dell output pcs wouldn't give you enough amps to run an 8800GT.

Who said anything about 2 Dell outlet PCs and you do know an 8800GT only needs a 450watt PSU to run if you have 1 hard drive and don't plan on doing a sli.

If he knew how to use Google, he wouldn't be asking here.

i used to have a sony viao fj but it died out on me in a year and a half (

) so now im planning on getting a new laptop/desktop on black friday (since there are specials on computers on that day) i can only spend 700-800$Â i need a computer that will last me a long long time,has atleast more then 100gb,has plenty of power (it needs to have the ability to run like World Of Warcraft (W.O.W.) with out my pc slowing down and also needs to be good for burning dl dvds,dvds ect. Can anyone recommend anything?

Lol, Wow World of Warcraft is so not demanding a crappy GMA900 can run it. So Power is something it doesn't need. And come on 100GB HDD? 1TB is practically become standard now

EDIT: Fixed a couple things.

1TB is standard? are you insane.

Just because you have a top of the line PC doesn't make other configurations crappy.

700-800 is enough for a good PC, enough for your needs.

Not many people need a $2000 PC

Dude I was being sarcastic on the 1TB standard thing..

wow my sony viao fj cost me 1500$ and it could run wow but it would slow down my pc. it only had like 80gb HD.Anyway the reason im looking for a laptop is cause in the area im in right doesn't make me feel secure...(if you know what i mean)but if i had a laptop i wouldn't worry as much.or at least a desk top that isn't so huge.






btw:You could say that again but,that was the first time i modded anything. im pretty sure if i had the chance to re-do it now i think i would be able to do it right this time.

I won't even consider buying a new PC until they finally release internal terrabyte harddrives. They've had them in the works for a good decade now, and yet they're nowhere to be seen. My plan is to put in two 1TB HDDs in a custom PC once they arrive. Oh how sweet it will be.

Ace you do realize that hard drive now days are less so about the capacity and more about the transfer speed right? However, if your porn collection is that large, by all means get one. I'm waiting until a 250gb 20000rpm one comes out.

Yep, I'm well aware. But you see, I need as much HDD space as possible because I am... a virtual packrat. My 200GB HDD is overflowing (I have some 10GBs left of space, not even enough HDD percentage to initiate a defragment). And you may ask, why not back it up? Because I hate backing things up. It takes forever, and it slows down all other PC functions while the processes are running. And since I'm always on the PC, I don't have the patience for a slow system. Now you'll say/think "Why not do it while you sleep?" because this is a family PC, and in order to do that I would have to leave my account on, and there are parts of my life I'd rather my mom/family/friends didn't stumble on *cough*porn, etc*cough*.

Virtual packrat, and you don't back things up?

Hope you never have to deal with HDD failure.

Oh believe me, I know. It's completely illogical to do what I do, but meh, the alternative would be days and days of endless PC-slowing backing up, and I just couldn't do that.

 

[Urza]

You've mentioned that you don't backup at night due to the chance of family stumbling upon it. Its quite simply to lock your computer while its still on.

Ah yes, I'm aware of that as well, but like I mentioned this is a family PC, and when I'm not on here, my mom is. She uses this PC near religiously, so it's unfair to lock her out of it for long periods of time.

 

[wrathek]

burning dvd's etc slows your comp down =/? sounds like time to ask for a personal pronmachine for christmas
