1700 for a gaming DESKTOP

rofl.

build a computer yourself, 1200 should get you TOP OF THE LINE or close to.

it seems like japanese right now, but if u research it a little bit its basically the easiest thing in the world.

Sounds like you have a good start. I'd also build you one but the other guy is gonna do that! However.....

I'd definitely wait until July 22nd....that is when Intel slashes prices all across the board....the Q6600 goes from 530 to 266.....

Your budget of 1500 can get you a very nice system.....if you need hardware advice hit me up, I like spending peoples money!

btw I build computers for a high end shop here in Seattle

hell yeha im def waiting to get a q660 when that happens

 

[Ku-sama]

Meh ...
Case is a piece of junk

Power supply is mediocre

Hard drive is small and slow ($10 more gets you 320 GB and perpendicular recording, which is much faster)

Quad core for a gaming PC in this budget is way beyond overkill and you'd get similar results with an E6600, which is much cheaper.

64-bit OS is a pain in the butt for gaming

I spec'd that machine out in less then 6 minutes.... if he wants one from me, I'll put more time into it

Case is alright, I have worked with 4 in the past. it's not something you would take with you every time you leave the house, but to sit in a cubby hole, it works fine.

Power supply is sufficient, it's a reputable brand. plenty of power for a Kentsfield and a G80.

in the next 6 months there are supposed to be about 12 games that are going to

be coming out that support quad core rigs.... why skimp on it now if you'll be wanting it later? he has the cash so why not?

I noticed a 16% performance gain in the 64-bit vista over 32???

I spanked that HP for $200 more, I could match it's performance for $1k

I own a shop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

and I forgot about the intel price drops, but yes, atleast wait until the 22nd. if your gonna wait past that then wait for AMD Chronic....

Get a dell before u get a Gateway...but really the way to go is to build your own. Cheaper, Better parts, and fully custom for any new upgrades. Over time
