Is this desktop worth it?

Wow, you guys are retarded, for 990 bucks you can get an AMD phenom II x4 965 black edition processor, a mobo that supports usb 3.0 and does sata at 6Gb/s ,4gb of ddr3 ram, and a nvidia gtx470 with a boss case and 750 watt psu WITHOUT an hd (just swap your old one) and it'll rape anything you can find on either of those sites at the same price. Learn to build one, its seriously the EASIEST thing ever.

Agreed .

yea im on the build ur own side of this... its way cheaper and you get a rockin system..

core i5 3.2ghz, 4 gigs ddr3 ram dual channel runnin 2 ghz, bfgtech gtx 260, evga p55 sli mobo, and 850 watt psu= $900

the video card is kinda out of date but it gets crap done..still owns any game out there.. except Flight Simulator 10.. but for the most part awsome.. and it leaves room for expantion...

im glad you guys are steering him the right way, i have a few suggestions of my own....



^that is my mobo ^_^ very happy with it and a single bfg tech 260, can play any game out there at around 100fps, (combat arms at like 600 fps)

also....if you have one near you microcenter is your friend, check the overstock bin for hard drives/cd rom drives.

and to get more ideas check out newegg, great for price comparison to local best buys/tech stores, lots of reviews to read, and a lot of the items have free shipping.

i heard alien ware computers over heat fast /

All im going to say is amd is seriously bang for your buck. That phenom II x4 i was talking about is 3.4 ghz and it can over clock to 4ghz on stock air easily. And its only 175 dollars, you can go all out and get a Phenom II X6 that does 3.2ghz, a six core intel costs WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more.

[[CSBL]Purple]

alienware, since owned by dell, is bullshit, and have always been over priced, ill go with ibuypower, since i dont buil pc myself and i prefer getting waranty for entire pc then parts, so the cooler get 10years waranty and the processor get 1 month, nty, 2years overall fit it cool

You need to install a liquid cooling system so they dont overheat but there pretty good in gameing.
