New PC for BF2

[AVObsidian]

I’m looking at getting a new PC for gaming.. currently I’m looking at these sites:

falcon-nw.com, http://www.jinglehorse.net ,voodoopc.com, http://www.alienware.com,

Does anyone have any recommendations? Mostly I play FPS and MMO games. Right now I’m playing Battlefield2 and World of Warcraft and Day of Defeat: Source. I’m leaning to the http://www.jinglehorse.net because they’re cheaper www.falcon-nw.com and www.voodoopc.com

I do not want to build it myself. I don’t have the time and I have the extra cash just to have it built for me so that’s that.

Anyway thanks everyone for your input.

I would go to a local computer store and have them custom build your computer. You will get exactly what you want and save tons of money. Many PC Gaming Mags have specs on what you should buy.

oh, PLEASE, do not buy a computer like that.

Buy and select the parts after extensive research on websites like newegg.com or monarch.com, and ask a nearby computer store to put it together for you if you can't.

That seems like such a hassle. Why not just buy one?

It is a hassle, and personally I just took the easy way out and bought one, but if you research and build your own it will be worth it down the road. Big time.

Getting the best deals for each part, and saving hundreds and hundreds of dollars overall. Also, when a part breaks in those computers you buy, its a huge hassle replacing them. You can find better warranties by spendint the time to research.

Yes, it takes time, but it's worth it.

I'd rather have the peace of mind that the computer is going to get here, work, and be supported by someone else for the duration of the warranty, than have to deal with building it myself.

I personally think AMD64 3500+, 2GB of RAM and a 6600GT or a 6800GT.

Perfect.

The best thing is building your own computer. It will end up being cheaper, and you will end up being more happy. Also if trouble arises you will save money by being able to fix it yourself.

OR

You can order one from http://www.abs.com/index.asp. They make affordable yet powerful gaming computers

Re: New PC for BF2

I don't think I'd be more happy in the end by building it myself. I just don't want to deal with that, and I want the next day support that comes with a nice warranty.

Re: New PC for BF2

Dude, thats not the point.

What we mean is personally finding each part for the cheapest price, and then ordering each individually. When you get all the components, Bring it to the local computer shop and ask THEM to build it for you. They'll have it done in less than a day!

I personally think AMD64 3500+, 2GB of RAM and a 6600GT or a 6800GT.
Perfect.

heh..sure works like perfection!

Re: New PC for BF2

I don't honestly see the hassle. I built my PC and it took what, 4 hours?


If 4 hours of work can save me hundreds of dollars, then yes, I'll do it.

Do you know how most manufacturer's work?
A.) Company sends you computer, 90% of the time it works great. 10% it doesn't work at all, or something doesn't work right.
B.) You void the warranty as soon as you try to fix it yourself. So you must send back the tower so they can fix it. By the way, you have to pay for S&H. Your warranty only lasts for one year. The clock keeps ticking whether or not they fix your problem. Not to mention you are without the computer from 1 week to 2 months.
C.) Trust me when I say that the people installing your components don't give a rats ass about you or your PC.

There is so many disadvantages to buying a high end pc from anywhere. Too many problems to list.
