Marsh Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Its a pretty damn cheap computer so i am not usre if it would be worth it to you to spend a little more. But a integrated video card is never good unless you want to uprade it again later. Or arent a serious gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 That system definitely would not be suited for a gamer. Especially the fact it has no video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homicidal Monkey Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 you can order Dells and alienware online. I got a dell laptop for less than that, almost same specs but twice the ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In7el3ct Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'd suggest a dell. They've been getting pretty good as of late.I wouldn't suggest alienware, as you're spending an extra $150 on the label. That, and I've had serious troubles with their drivers in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCream Tuesday Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Personally don't think you can go to wrong with a dell.. but In my opinion building is the way to go, You can always order parts online.Not knowing your position on building a computer, I suggested just hitting up dell.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Build it yourself. Anyone with half a brain can put a computer together.Ordering from shops which solely trade online is a good way of getting stuff cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm with the above on this one; I built my computer, and pretty happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 All my x86(-64) computers were assembled by either my father or myself, so yea, unless you plan to buy something like an ARM computer, it's best to build it yourself.Regards, Godlord.

jna Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Some reasons why I cant build a computer:Only one computer shop in town. Doesn't have parts.Parents don't let me buy online, and If they did shipping to here would be expensive.I would build one but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a Paypal account if they don't wanna use their credit cards on sites, have them deposit money into the paypal and let you buy it that way.. OR simple.. get a Job.. deposit money into an account.. and Use your own card.. Thats what I had to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Get the money in cash, deposit into your bank account, withdraw it into your paypal account, order parts to friends house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jna Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Money isn't a problem for me, get like 100$ a month by doing nothing. Work isn't a problem either, my grandfather has a bakery i could work there if I felt like it. Problem is getting a bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCream Tuesday Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 How is getting a bank account hard? You take your SS# to the bank, and say.. I wanna set up an account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jna Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well and what makes the bank people not ask my parents if they let me? Don't forget that out of 3000 people this town has 2500 know me, and the bank owners are my grandmothers neighbors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
