Thought of the computer i'm going to buy please.

doesn't the cost really come from the tech support that comes with it rather than the cost of part, plus if he builds it himself he still has to pay hundreds for software like windows vista and office.

For that price, it should be an i7/x58

actually i'm getting a whole new computer.SiKyung

And in terms of word processing, I got my Microsoft Office 2007 for free through a blunder microsoft made in which I was able to get a free year technet subscription. They canceled my subscription, but I still got to keep all of the keys I had downloaded.

I doubt something like that will happen again. You can always use the open-source counterpart Open Office, and it performs almost all the functions Microsoft Office does and mimics Microsoft Office's interface very well.

Intel® Core™2 Extreme QX9650 (12MB,3.0GHz, 1333FSB)

These are all available changble.

Don't buy from Dell you always end up paying way to much, even if you don't want to build it yourself there are other places you can order a PC from which will be better and cheaper than what you get from Dell.

Just shop around a little 1st. Couple places I can think of off the top of my head to check out are Digital storm, Falcon northwest, Cyberpower PC (heard good and bad things cyberpower but they seem to have good prices). Think a few places are having labor day sales atm.

so what kind company would you recommand? Because up to now, i was using DELL.SiKyung

If you know someone locally that knows how to assemble computer, I would highly recommend finding that person and have him assemble it. I would suggest buying the components yourself, get some feedback off the forums in what to pick.

If you do not want to go that route, then I saw some pretty decent pre-builts for a ok price on www.newegg.com, that's probably a decent place to start.

Dells are CRAP, Most of the time you cant upgrade anything as its all soldered together.

dude thats just not going to cut it for $1,600. i could build a pc thtat could match or exceed the benchmarks of those for less than $1000. I would say order parts and go to frys or somthing and have them build it for you.

Nothing wrong with getting a Dell or an HP. They make good stuff. Their warranty usually start at 3 years. I rather trust them than some small shop.

As for putting a computer together it sounds much more daunting then it really is. Anyone can put a computer together. It's quite simple and the parts today are pretty much idiot proof. All of the cables only fit in one way. So as long as you take your time and read the manuals that come with the parts you will be fine. You will also be able to choose every piece you want and can save a little money.
