Hey everyone! It's been so long since i was on createblog, but i thought of where to talk to people about my building/finding a good gaming PC and i couldnt think of anywhere else rather than createblog! So if anyone has tips or even direct pc's to offer i would be very grateful! Thanks! Also, if you need to know anything else please ask.

Build or buy depends on how deep your pockets are, how much experience you have, how comfortable you feel installing expensive hardware, etc. If you want to build and live in the United States then I'd recommend Newegg to buy the better part of your hardware from, as most often they'll have the best deals, and if they don't, their service is more than worth the premium. If you want to buy a high-performance machine then you can go to any big-name manufacturer like Dell, Alienware, or if you really feel like a big spender, L.
The more costly the computer you intend on getting, the larger the price gap grows between building and buying. Also with buying you're guaranteed to get the machine fully-featured and fully assembled(I built this three years ago and my front audio ports still don't work). That being said, building is much funner and much cheaper. If you need specific instructions, feel free to ask |

^ Yeah. Alienware is supposed to have the best gaming computers.
http://www.alienware.com/product_pages/des...ll_default.aspx They're really expensive, but really good. My brother has the Area-51 5500 and he says that it's really fast. |

^ That makes no sense grammatically, but I get what you're saying.
GeForce is not a computer. It's a graphics card. And please don't post here if you don't have anything to contribute to the topic. |
