Alright, I did some research at microcenter.com, and I found a collection of parts that I'm considering

here's what I would be getting from Microcenter (in-store)

8 GB of Ram, a refurbished 1.5 TB Hard drive (7200rpm), a dvd burner, a case,
an i7 2600k processor
a radeon 6750 graphics card,
a cheap motherboard,
and a 600 W PSU

after tax and rebates, the total for the above is $700 from microcenter.

Do you recommend this build? I'm not really sure about the motherboard, do I need a more expensive one?

this is the only barebones kit with an i7 2600k, and it has no graphic card, only 4 gb ram, and a cheap PSU. also, I trust microcenter's return policy more than tigerdirect's.

Thank you for all the replies.




I already have a monitor, a wireless keyboard+mouse, and some really good speakers. I'd prefer to not use the internal hardware of my old computer unless I have to.
Yes, gaming, as well as HD video editing.


I'm mostly interested in either the intel i5 2500k, or the intel i7 2600k


I'm really clueless about graphics cards, so I don't know what I should get. Considering that I'll have a really good processor, I don't want to be limited by a crappy graphics card. I just want whatever has the best price/performance ratio, Maybe you could suggest one?


I want at least 4 GB, but preferably more, since (I think) Sony vegas uses alot of ram.



Thank you, I looked at all the barebone kits with i5 and i7 processors. There was only 1 "cheap" i7 kit for $610: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=581640&CatId=4149 - Its got an 1.5 TB HD, a 600 watt PSU, and a $115-motherboard with a 4/5 star rating. I'll need to buy an additional graphics card

There was also a cheap i5 kit for $200 less: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1241992&CatId=4910. the HD is only 500 GB, the PSU is part of the box and only 450 watts, and it's got a $62-motherboard with a 3/5 star rating. again, I'll need to buy a graphics card, but I will have limited options because of the 450 watt PSU.

So, do you recommend either of these kits? or are there better ones that I just can't find?

The guy who told me that was a Licensed engineer, though he probably doesn't closely track the computer industry.

I am willing to build my own computer, in fact, I initially wanted to build my own computer. The problem is that whenever I add up all the parts I would want (including the $130 windows 7 OS), The total price would be more than the pre-made computers interested in. I probably suck at finding the right builds; that's my fault' It's mostly the OS that's preventing my build from being a better value.

I'm don't really understand what animefreak said about a "barebones kit", but if they're as cheap as he says they can be, I'll try to figure out what it is.

My main computer is a windows XP with pentium 4 (3.0 Ghz), 1GB ram, a 125GB hard drive, and an old graphics card. I'm on the computer all the time, so I really want better one.

I was told that it's too old to be upgraded, so I need to buy a new one. I was told that it's cheaper to buy a pre-built computer than to buy all the individual parts. I've never built a computer anyways, so I'll go with a pre-built computer. I'm looking for a gaming/multitasking computer in the $600-$900 price range. I also will be doing HD video editing on it.

I looked at newegg.com, and they had 2 particular computers I'm interested in:

computer with intel i5 2500k - $700
Do you recommend I buy this?

computer with intel i7 2600k - $850
Do you recommend I buy this? can I trust it despite zero reviews?

and you put this thread in "serious discussion"?

best thread EVER!
it's called "Dumb arguments for and against god"; we get to post our arguments about God, and Biglundi will call it dumb! I don't know how to express my thanks to biglundi, but I'll think of something

/sarcasm

I'll die if it gets found, so I have to keep the files hidden

It's in: documents/temp/system files/config/dll/new folder/

each directory has about 10 dead-end paths. Overall, theres about 200 folders in the maze to my treasure

Without any sugar, caffeine, or other similar stuff:

I played in a basketball game; most of my team wasn't there, so I played most of it. Then I stayed up all night at a rock-climbing Lock-in. The next evening, I had another basketball game, in which I was Hallucinating in the middle of the game.

Christianity claims that we are "saved by faith". If we could prove God exists, then it would no longer be faith, but lack of denial against proven truths. Given this, I don't see why people try to say that God can be proven to exist. I believe God exists, but I will never claim to prove God exists.

I don't care how you dress, though there are some styles that would keep me away. For the most part, I don't care how you dress, it's all the face and behavior I care about.

I don't like tattoos or non-ear piercings, but the clothes don't really matter.

My first name is Joshua, which has some religious meaning.

Joshua was the name of the guy who succeeded Moses. Joshua is also... somehow... a certain translation/pronunciation of the man we know as Jesus. I'm not really sure about this, though I think he was physically called "yeshua".

I don't know or care about the meaning of my last name. My dad's last name used to be Smulowwitz, which was really hard to spell. Because his job required his name written alot, he changed it to a more simple name. So my last name might as well mean "this word is easier to spell than Smullowitz"

I go to an "independent study highschool", so I don't experience these teachers myself, but my best friend does. he says that half the teachers don't really teach anything. he says it's because of a law that forbids teachers from being fired if they've been a teacher for 10 years. I don't know how true this is, but I've had multiple people confirm this.

As for their income, it does seem low. If these really are good teachers, then I think they should be paid more. The problem is, I question whether they are actually good teachers or not. even so, I agree with Nekohime...


I haven't seen the exact statistics, but this seems messed up

if we have this system, I would prefer that we also have the ability to exclude certain tags

sorry about that, edited for ya

I can only enjoy sister x brother and cousins

there's supposed to be a description, but most of them don't have one written

I think the uploaders are supposed to write the description, but they don't. Maybe we can have some trusted members given the right to write descriptions?

I've got a basketball practice on Halloween, and I don't want to explain to my teammates that I missed because I was trick-or-treating. but I already went to a costume party with some classmates.

I'm not sure if this belongs in request or not. it's not like this section is excessively crowded, so I think it's fine here.

There's tons of good ones, all you have to do is sort by favorites. I recommend anything by Coelacanth, Homunculus, or Kisaragi Gunma
