need help building gaming computer?

Kaleb

I am looking for a good gaming computer. I've been told that the custom computers are better than prebuilt computers. But i don't know much about the parts of the computer. I want it to be fast, and be able to run any games with no problems (and maybe have a nice case with custom lights on it). I have About $1000 to spend on everything, including the computer, the monitor, the mouse, and the keyboard. I need some help putting together a good computer.

the only missing thing in this setup are the lights in the case unless you get 1 or 2 additional case fans with LEDs.
I would have liked to have an HD 7850 graphics card, but had it to sacrifice for an HD 6870 because of the monitor.

What is better gaming computer, 9500 grahics card with a daul processor or 6150 quad processor?

Danny

Im looking for a new gaming computer no monitor just a tower to buy. but i have seen some computers on newegg.com where that had quad processors 4gb memory and a 500gb hardive but with a 6150 graphics card. But i have seen a computer with the same memory but a dual processor 9500 graphics card. Which is better and why?

Answer
Hi


If the quad processor is Intel Q series, or AMD's Phenom II series, then go with the quad machine and then buy an additonal Video card (nvidia 9600GT, 9800GT, ATI Radeon 4650 HD, 4850HD) to put in the PC.

the Nvidia 6150 is not a graphics card, its a intergrated Chip on the motherboard, that can just support displays.

If the Quad processor is not listed in what I mentioned above, then get the Dual Core PC.

It would be very helpful if you provided links to those computers, or post the PC Specifics of each PC.

Hope that Helps.

^^Lol the guy above me posted it at the same time I did lol. It's whatever. I posted it the same time but I left my slow comp on and it connected it later than his. This wasn't a re-post.

Here's another one that is the closest to $100 as possible, the shipping says "$8.50" but you can sign up for a free thing and get 2 day rush shipping absolutely free.
