You can install ram, but do you know the difference between say CAS latencies and FSB?


:facepalm:

Can you please name off companies other than Apple with very high quality screens, construction, screen resolution for significantly less than Apple?

I'll be surprised if you can.  The only company that comes close to the quality is ThinkPad, and their prices are only SLIGHTLY lower.

EDIT: I'm referring only to laptops - if you buy an iMac bbl337's statement stands.

The benefit in quality you get in buying a mac amounts to pure luxury. I hate the software, and the UI's on macs but besides that, the negligible hardware 'improvements' you find on mac's are no where near worth the 200% price increase over comparable HP's or DELLs. IMO

My 12 year old dell desktop computer has finally Died. Time for a new computer. i have a budget of 1k to work with, i love PC Games An need something that can handle my games (Crisis 2/Napoleon Total War). But im also a student an a Dj on my of time so having the portability would help.

I would like at least 4GB of Ram to 12GB But Under a thousand an with a Decent Graphics card. Lastly it has to be Durable.

Suggestions on where i may find such a machine? An in your Opinion Is a Desktop better then a Laptop of Vis Versa ?


for 1,000.00 you could build an amazing gaming computer. trust me dude, this is the way to go.

already been answered but let me add
You need to be mobile? Laptop.
Need to play games and have more power? Don't need to move around all the time?  Desktop.

If you buy a desktop, build it yourself from scratch. It's not hard if you do the research and aren't retarded and get a little bit of help. You match the right components together and they plug in one way... it's not rocket science. Getting into overclocking and shit is a little different. For $1,000 in custom components you can build a computer that is better than any $2,000 prebuilt piece of shit out there. Plus you have the knowledge and satisfaction of knowing how it works. There is simply no comparison. Build it yourself, it is not hard.

Whatever you do, don't buy Mac or Dell or HP. But that's just my extremely biased opinion as a PC technician.

The quality of a Mac is FAR more than a marginal difference.  It's world's above any cheap POS laptop out there.  There are laptops that are starting to compete with the Apple computers now - HP Envy is an example.  The trackpad on them, however, is utter shit, and the multi touch gestures are infinitely more responsive on a Mac, which is a big deal when you're talking about a mobile computer.

And guess what, they cost almost as much.  $100-200 less for equivalent specs.

1000$ desktop FTW.

I'm building my first gaming pc to get back into Counter-Strike and get read fro Skyrim and BF3 :smile:

My budget is $1000 too but I already have a monitor.

I plan on an ASUS motherboard
AMD processor
NVIDIA or ATI graphics card
Power supply from who knows
3 gb ram
about 99$ on the case

It's gonna be a good pc.


Also, stay away from apple.

overclocking isn't for noobs, you have to take the right precautions (such as aftermarket heatsinks). I've been building systems for years and I only have a very mild (6%) OC on my own machine. It isn't worth the risks of damaging components if you don't know wtf you are doing. Most of the extreme overclockers only do it for benchmark scores and ePeen anyway.

what do you mean what company besides newegg? didn't you just say you bought an HP?
newegg, frozencpu.

edit: Oh, you returned the piece of shit HP. Good.
Now get on Newegg and pick out all your parts and post them here so we can review them and tell you if they will work

Crysis2 is a console port in DX9, it's graphics are a joke compared to Crysis,
pretty much any modern computer with a half decent graphics card can run it.
You meant to say you want something that can run Metro2033
