    Most of the time you get at least 3 year warranties with all the components for no extra charge when building your own PC.

    You basically pwned yourself. No use bitching to him anymore, though, it's already been done.

    My bro is getting a Phenom, 4GB and 9800 GTX...for $1200...so it's better than yours and a lot cheaper. Also, your power supply is weak.

    You should have posted specs here, and you should have just built your own computer instead of buying one...
    Processor: It's the new 45nm core, it's worth it since it's much easier to overclock, runs cooler, and will probably last longer.
    Motherboard: Only really buggy when over clocking, other than that it's fine.
    Memory: 3GB of ram doesn't go well with most comps, 4GB he would need a 64bit OS.
    Video Card: Yes, you could of gotten much better.

    n.

    Paint you really should of listened to us and just bought all the separate pieces and put it together yourself. Now you have a moderately good computer that has a high end price. But you could of made it high end had you not bought it prebuilt. I don't think there was a single person on this forum that said you should get a prebuilt pc, but that you should built your own. I really can't say anything else besides that was just flat out stupid.

    I paid 1600 USD for mine. That was before the prices of all the components went down. Now it would be around 1200. Mine could outdo yours if I oc'd a few components.. You got screwed over man. I agree with everyone else when it comes to the fact you didn't listen to them.

    Re: i ordered my new computer

    Unless you want a laptop, there ain't no good reason to buy a pre-built computer as a gaming rig. Order online and build it on your own. But the damage has been done, so yeah.

    Come to think of it, I could get an ASUS laptop directly from Taiwan with an 8800M GTX video card for less than the $1900 USD that paintballakid paid...LOL. As for the specs, I could easily build that for just over $1000 Canadian. It's a solid rig and will perform well in games, but it's certainly not the best, especially at its price.

    IMO, it's not really about the price that makes me laugh at him for buying a prebuilt computer. It's that he ain't man enough (or tech-literate enough) to DIY.
