What do you guys think? Spent a lil more than I wanted to ( which was about 6-800) but couldn't get past this thing. Also picked up anice LG 20" monitor. Didn't want something big since I'll have this hooked to my tv quote a bit

ah well it's only money

if you were looking to mod your pc you should have built instead of buying oem

at least you can be comfortable knowing as soon as you open the box that pc is worth half of what you paid

Well I think it's full price I paid , at least for the next 13 days. I think best buys policy is a 14 day refund. I hope that's true. But yea man , I don't know what to do. I I want to keep it or not. It's still unopened but I was just gonna open it now and run some tests on it.

I had a $1100 credit at best buy for my laptop that died under the no lemon policy. So I was thinking just buy one from bb and whatever I get would basically be free.

Is there anything you can see on best buys site under $1000 laptop or desktop that worth picking up? And easily upgradeable maybe down the road?

Get a video card that has the same outputs as your TV has for inputs. Lots of cards out there support S-video.

Just google RAID, there are many forms

If you want blazing performance go with 2 SSD drives striped(RAID 0) and a nice RAID card for OS/Apps. Use the 1tb drive thats in there for storage

You seem to be on a budget though so that probably isnt an option

You should also consider joining a decent computer forum instead of asking here

Buy some flames stickers. I don't really think you need mods... That computer should be plenty fast for a normal person, unless I'm missing something here. Unless you're some kind of professional, or a gamer, what else would you need?
