    Toms hardware. And apparently in there terms of service they put "new or mostly new parts" or something. Which basically means they use refurbished parts.

    I've also read a ton of nasty reviews about them.

    Lets not start on this again. It's quite the opposite.

    Trust Me.

    It depends on your definition of good. imo you can build an amazing computer for 1250USD, even if you're buying with NZ's inflated prices.

    They basically said it's too "risky". Even though I've rebuilt plenty of computers and consoles in my day.
    Grow some balls and stand up to your parents' illogical decisions. They are uninformed. You make it your duty to show them legit websites that explain the advantages of building your own PC and the disadvantages of buying a pre-configured/customized PC from a website. You must present it to them with bias leaning towards user built PCs, but it's for the good cause. Something to really press upon them is that you building it will save them hundreds of dollars.

    Christ man, you've already built other PCs and consoles, or so you say. If you have before, what reason do they have to doubt your ability?

    @ Infeno
    If your looking to buy a gaming PC cheap, might I suggest going here:
    http://www.digitalstormonline.com/

    Configure in your budget ( Not sure how much you have I'm assuming
    around $1,200.)
    Very high quality service and a 3 year minimum parts/labor warranty.

    And it's legit, new parts not refurbished.

    Crysis at maximum settings 2x AA and trilinear filtering at about 30fps.

    Which what I really WANT is a I7 900 series at 3.0ghz with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 240 and 3 gigs tri channel ram.

    But that adds up to about 1400 dollars.

    Ehhhhh like 1024 x 900something but preferably 1600x1200.

    Also. I already run MW2 at max settings but I want to be able to record video in MW2 while running it at max settings (no AA) at around 60fps. I'm thinking of making a throwing knife video.

    edit-

    Oh and my biggest concern is being able to run PCSX2 at a decent framerate (PS2 Emulation).

    edit 2-

    Oh and of course I want to be able to work in UDK and UE3 more efficiently. I spend a lot of time waiting on things to load/process as it is.
