need to know ASAP please!!! I NEED A COMPUTER!!!!

Holy shit, the Newegg one has 8 gigs of RAM!
They look good except for
1) Vista 64 has many problems and incompatibilities
2) They both have integrated graphics. (No independent card)
If I had to choose, I'd pick the one on Newegg. $760 for that isn't too bad.
-
but theyre both decent for gaming at least?
-
not sure how good you are at computers, but it would be better to buy the parts and put it together yourself. Otherwise I would lean towards the Newegg one as well.
As for Vista having issues, I have had no issues with gaming on it at all.
-
im shitty with computers as far as hardware goes... my brother assembled my last 2 rigs, and hes stationed in japan now... so im fucked... i gotta buy one
-
well i got the newegg one... now whether i ever get to live long enough to use...is a different story lol... wife is gonna fuckin kill me...omg....
-
Seems like a good deal bro - just plan on getting a vid card if you want to play cod4 or even cs...
-
whats wrong with that card? i thought radeon was good?
-
radeon sucks ass. I have always had issues with their drivers and software.
-

It's probably decent but it is a couple generations behind..I would suggest upgrading the vid card for sure and go with Nvidia. Even though your brother built your other rig I'm sure you can upgrade the vid card without any problems, especially with our help :-D
-
well i need help findin a good, but inexpensive one... im not a rich person... rather broke lol.... too many bills
-
opinions please...

Shmotz, give me a price and I will find you a good card.
-
Out of those the 9800 1gb is the best...I dont see how it's that cheap though LOL whats your budget? Like Video said, if we know what you want to spend we can find you the best bang for the buck.
-
This is a great card and the EVGA warranty is awesome.

-
ehhh...its a lil pricy... but if i have no better options... id prefer between 50-100
-
I will see what I can do.
-
Here ya go. This is $90 after the rebate.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130330
It is already overclocked and everything and the 9600 is a good card. Plus it is EVGA so it has the great warranty.

:iamwithstupid:
-
well i got the newegg computer... and that grafx card... and a dell monitor... im broke now... and my wife is gonna kill me... so... i prolly cant buy cod now :( i wanted to play it too.... this fuckin economy blows
-
so video, will that geforce be compatible with what i got?
-
Most definately!!! You will love the setup man. You will just have to go into the BIOS of the machine and disable the built in Video Card once you are to that point to install the new card in the system. We can help you with that no problem. Can't wait to play some COD with you on the new machine.
-
video, pm ur phone number...im gonna have u walk me through this when it comes in...it should all be in by wednsday...
yea i cant wait either... im debating whether gettin world at war would be pushin my luck too much with the wife lol... she wasnt too mad that i got the computer... told her it was an early christmas gift for the both of us hahaha...
-
ha, thats the way to go, make it all about her. Good to have you back though.
-
I'm available to help if you need it. Done it a million times too..304 532 3594
I was wondering if the psu will have an extra molex plug for the vid card and if it is the right kind of plug (8 pin I think)... Most cards will come with an adapter, so dont lose it!
-
lol i have no idea what u just said haha... but thanx, ill call ya when it comes in
-
Since the computer is an early Christmas gift for the both of you World at War can be an early Christmas gift for you ;) That might work.
-
well my computer, JUST got here! so whenever the vid card and monitor get here... im relyin on some of ya'lls help with gettin the vid card setup
-
lol thats the most basic part of install, but we will all help if needed
I built my last 2 computers so just let me know if u need some help
-
well all my shit came in finally... im gonna get with you in a few days to get the vid card set up!
