 |
|
alright so I'm wanting to purchase another computer. This time I'm looking for something cheap (not built cheap but rather in price range) I'm looking for something from $500-$600 ($670 is too much)
If any of you can find something or have already found something on tiger direct or new egg etc.
all that I ask is that it has to be able to ship to Canada |

Core 2 Quad only 489.00$ USD. Just use the spare money for a new graphics card. =) |
yea that looks awesome but people are giving it low reviews, but if I can't find anything else I'll purchase that. Also, what do you think of this?
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4348627&Sku=S445-10007
and people are giving it very good reviews. Avrg 4.2/5 |

| The iBuyPower model suggested by grimripper is far faster than the Gateway DX4720, even with the reviews. Newegg customers are enthusiasts-they demand more than low-end 8400GS graphics. Of course, the Gateway is stuck with even slower integrated graphics and a CPU half the processing cores. By comparison, the larger hard drive in the Gateway is its only advantage to the iBuyPower model. |

Its getting low reviews because its a badly made pc. But its perfect for a barebone pc, so just upgrade the PSU and Graphics and its great.
Also dont buy one with Pentium dual core
The first one also comes with a 8400gs. which is not a bad card really, and also means it will fit most other cards, wheras the pdc one is using intergraterd |

ITT: fail
Antec 300 ($64)
E7400 ($140)
GA-EP45-UD3L ($114)
2x2GB G.Skill RAM ($52)
or
2x2GB OCZ Reaper RAM ($48 after rebate)
Second one is superior if you trust rebates.
Corsair 450W ($69 after rebate)
640GB WD HDD ($80)
Why are the 320GB drives w/ 8MB cache, 500GB drives w/ 32MB cache and 640GB drives w/ 16MB cache all the same price?
HD4830 ($97 after rebate)
Generic DVD burner ($24)
$636 after rebates.
EDIT: Shit, forgot an optical drive.

Thats a pretty weak pc.

Be my guest if you'd like to come up with something better for ~$600CAD without getting only two decent parts and 6 other parts that are total shit.
