Can you build a computer? If so, please reply saying so, because I can configure a system or two so that you know what you can get for the price if you build it. I'd also recommend Dell if you're not sure about building it.
A good custom built computer can cost around $600-$800. Then for the monitor, if you want an LCD, your adding about $300. So we're talking around $1,000-$1,200. In which, looking at your salary, if you've been working for a while, seems like a reasonable price for you to afford. Let me add the Specs. AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 64 bit processors are top of the line now. I forget the motherboard name but it was good and supported HyperTransport. 512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM. 80gig Serial-ATA hard drive. Sony DVD Burner. Cool case. Keyboard, Mouse XP Pro... or Home If you don't play games any video card should be fine. If you want great graphics for a cheap price I suggest the Nvidea FX5200. If you want an even better video card I would suggest the ATI Radeon 9800Pro. Don't feel dumbfounded about the price. If I wanted I could build one for A LOT cheaper. I just configured a good one. Feel free to PM me about system configurations and whatnot. |
