Okay, so i have about 1000$ price limit and i only need a desktop computer i don't want a monitor or anything. I live in Canada so preferably the place I am buying from is withing the US/Canada region. I want the best i can get. I was looking at This Computer, but I am not even sure if that is any good.If you have anything in mind it would be great if you could supply a link =)

In my opinion for 1000 $ and all you get is 6gb ram, and a Q8300. Not a very good deal in my opinion, if your looking for a pre-built computer honestly ibuypower or something is better than that. But if you are looking for like parts to build your self, All i can say is Newegg or maybe fry's.

I am looking for a pre-built computer so maybe you could link to a computer that is the best that you think i could get? If someone gives me a good link a +rep will be coming their way.

Well for a pre built I guess you could do ibuypower.com

I have used ibuy before they were fine for me. Just when your at the site look around at some of the PC's they have that are bout 1000 or just go to the configurator and pick that parts you want. =)


since its 1000 try and go for an I7 core. Wink

MAKE sure you are in the quad core configurator!

[$15 OFF Mail-In Rebate] Nzxt Apollo Gaming Tower Case w/420W Power Supply Black

then pick the 320 GB hard drive, then go to next page and pick

The Pc is over priced. Try a computer store like canadacomputers.com

tigerdirect.com or tigerdirect.ca

i recommend http://www.directron.com/ and http://www.xoxide.com/

Its not really over priced compared to some prebuilt ones, but I mean he wanted something pre-built, I sort of rushed anyway. But you can look around on tiger direct if you want.

Lol, ok ask Zarr he is probably one of the smartest people here. Send him a private message asking about a 1000$ build he probably can help =)

http://forum.cheatengine.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=107736
