How Cheap?

[spiritwo]

How cheap do you think you can get a desktop computer that will EASILY run crap like black ops on highest settings?

Want me to try to find all the parts you need for your budget? Tell me how much and I'll try to put something together.

LOL...
€1500 or $1500?
When you mean €1500,- EUR you can definitely get a hardcore game pc for that

And for I think €800/$1000 or so you can get a PC that's good enough for the next few years

[panzerbjørn]

nice thread, i like to see what specs, you guys upload

[kklalz]

Since he is American, i guess it's dollar. You can get something quite good for this price. I'll make something too when i'll have some spare time.

Watch this. Ill get you one for less than $1000

Add a HDD and a DVD player from you old comp, or add like $50 on to that. This computer would last you at the very least 3 more years to come, before upgrading would even be a thing to consider. And trust me, this would last a ton better than any pre-fab shit you get at walmart or from online stores.

Also, sub an HD4850 for that 5850, and get only 4 GB of RAM and you will knock a large chunk out of that price as well, and still have a really powerful comp. Cass arent necessary, and you can find even cheaper ones. I like NZXT though because their shit seems to work pretty good.

I have 1 thing to say..

FUCK AMD



Jk, but srsly, AMD fails. Even though 1nt3l <-----(lol) costs more it's worth every penny and is superior in terms of performance.

Sure. There is no way an i7 priced at $700 is worth every penny when a Phenom II X4 Oc'd at 4.0 can perform just as good, if not better. So take your fanboy-ism where people dont know what they are talking about.

]Its a proven fact, I actually got into an argument over this before, I'ma fanboy BECAUSE Intel is so damn good. I can tell you have AMD or have used I before. If you research it, you will see that Int3l is better quality and preforms better. It costs more for that reason. In the end though is depends on your taste. You want better power consumption, cheap, reliable: AMD. You want performance, to overclock,and make a killer comp: Intel. K?

You still underestimate AMD. The fact that Intel overprices everything, and tries to make it sound like they have the greatest technology evar, is the reason why AMD exists in the first place. AMD makes good stuff, and makes them practical, and affordable.

Consider: The new i7 980 6core costs over $1000. There is hardly anything out there that can use that, but Intel is going to continue fueling money into it, and keep the price obcenley high, while a bunch of bloggers get paid to post benchmark tests against old AMD products like they mean anything.

AMD's most powerful 6-core costs $229. And even up against the i7's the X4 series is still much much more affordable, and efficient. So if you feel like throwing money into Intel on the sole fact that you think its better, and AMD is for cheap-os, then go ahead. But the only time when I would recommend Intel over AMD is when they stop gouging customers for there only slightly better than average stuff.

[lolbie]

well for 630 you have a pc (build on a website) with quadcore
than you only have to buy a graphic card
arround 160 for good one

so you get to €800,-

euro's

[rickbovenkamp2]

Lol, I had a 600 euro laptop which could run it on extra game settings. You don't need to spend alot of money, you just need to find the right economy parts for your pc.
