So since my computer went retarded I can't use it anymore until I fix it or If I get a new one.


I'm thinking about building a computer or having Cole build one for me. So I was wondering how much everything would be and what parts I would need.

I just want to know how much everything is so I can save up....which might take awhile :(

Same here, I don't know how long my laptop will last and I know that I might need a better replacement(prefereably with uber gaming power :) )
I'd like to know about the prices too.

Yeah, I dont think she wants to spend that much.

I just picked up a 9800 GX2 for $100 so my 9600 GSO is up for sale.

$100
Antec Case w/380 watt psu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 1681112903

$235
Quad core 45nm Phenom Black edition 3.0ghz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103471

$22
LG 20x dvd burner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827136149

$75
WD 640gb Hard drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822136218

$50
4gb DDR1066
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231145

$75
Gigabyte AMD motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128376

~580 shipped, this is without a video card, but I would be willing to cut you a nice deal on my card, it is not the best thing out there, but it would be a card that can play everything out right now, and then in a year or 2 you can buy a $100-200 card and upgrade.

This right here would be a very nice computer, but if needed we can cut out around $100 and still have a good computer (cheaper CPU/memory/hard drive).

Also this is without an OS, but I do have XP pro, XP pro x64, and vista (not the 64 vista).

When I return the power supply and video card, that's gonna go to my savings for the computer.

So I'll have around...180-190. So it might take 3 or more months to save up the rest.


I might just wait it out instead of lowering the price.

Plus since I can't use the memory I bought now I can return it for new RAM. Newegg won't let me return it to them (gay), but I think I can exchange it if I contact the company (kingston) or something. So I hope that works out.

for normal use, vista 32. if your going to have over 4GB of memory, get the 64bit version.

So I might be able to get a computer next month IF its around $400-$500 MAX.

Not sure if I can buy a computer for that much or have it built. :?

And I might want to get a laptop (for school, but also can run CZ)

I'm thinking about this laptop:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152098

Or this desktop:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227136
Do you guys think its any good?

And could I get one cheaper if it's built?

Neither of those computers have a video card. Whenever you have the money ready I will piece together a computer for you, the best bang for the buck.

I forgot to mention that if you do make the computer the shipping has to be in the total of 400-500 :/

Unless my mom says that she can pay a little more. Not sure.

But anyways, so how would I send you the parts?

Order them to your address?

Well, you cant order parts to another address, unless you add it to the credit card's secondary shipping address. This is one reason I don't like building computers for other people, its just a pain.

I will make special exceptions, so we will just have to figure it out. The best way would be to send the money to me, I order everything and then mail it to you, more or less you are buying a computer from me, doubt your mom would be cool with that though.

All I can say though is that I have never screwed anyone over for money, but if you can figure out a way to send me all the parts (aka send me 500 worth of parts) whats the difference between that and sending me a $500 check.

If you want to be really safe, you can use paypal (its how pepto and poptart did it) but there is a limit, may have to send it over 2 months. But paypal allows you to dispute a charge and get your money back.

Also if you are interested I still have a EVGA 9600 video card that I will give away for $20.

I'll tell my mom about that and see what she thinks.

My mom will probably want to send a check, I just gotta ask her.

:D

Can't wait for the new computer!!!

I think you should get a better PSU in that one. I got something like that and you need at least 500W I think. I got an 600W power supply which is fair enough.

Maybe this:

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817171031

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811119137

prices:
PSU: $40
Case: $80
Total: $120
20 more than the other set up but much more power.
