New computer time, aye yo cj Options

[none345678]

So I am in need of a new desk top. The only problem is is that I am completely and utterly computer retarded. So help me yeah?

Would like it to be a pc. I have no idea what my budget would be but I would say $700 maybe 800? Needs to be able to run the sims 3, other than that I just have my adobe junk, and music.

Yeah, like I said I'm computer stupid and have no idea about anything.

Before I go and spend thirty minutes throwing something together on newegg, I want to make sure you're willing to build.

Also Sims 3 is pretty demanding, but to say it's more demanding than Crysis is just stupid.

No, I have both and Sims has crashed and burned my PC far more than Crysis ever has. Sims uses a high poly count to achieve its graphics and Crysis uses bump mapping and other lighting tricks to achieve its grpahics. Also the Sims uses far more CPU than Crysis.

Alright good, I'll start on something now. I'll shoot for 800 USD after S&H. What state do you live in?

Also, I'll do a barebone system, so you don't have to worry about screwing up as much.
Ignore this man. Dell uses shit everything. I've never come across a Dell without issues.

I'm actually using a Dell. I haven't had any trouble, however I hate how they invert their MoBo's. You cannot fit monster video cards in their machines without serious modifications. I need to purchase the following:

Corsair H50 - to decrease the size of the heat sync.
Thermalright HR-03 GT - to invert the heat sync on the GPU

Just to fit a 4890 in my computer case.
