Some1 make up a good pc plz, need absolutely everything (monitor, mouse, keyboard as well). $2k max, would rather $1.5k

Halp plz.

i paid nearly 2000 for mine
i got an
i7 920 cpu
gigabyte ex58-ds4 mb
corsair hx-620 psu
gtx260 graphics card
antec 900 case
500 gig sataII hard drive 3 gig corsair ram
mine came to roughly $1,800 or $1,900
just a suggestion

will be hard to go i7 plus monitor, keyboard and mouse for less than $2k.

do you just want to game with it?

Pretty much do everything with it, sick of using this shit laptop.

u could get something decent for 2k easy.

24" BenQ's for around $300
Keyboard + mouse around $200

leaves u $1500 with which u can get a fairly good comp

edit: forgot dvd drive. chuck in a pioneer 216 for like $30

buy me a comp aswell?

Dont get ur comp from a store retailer either, go to a warehouse company, they will give u a way better price.

As for a rig, Hardy is right, i7 is a bit out of reach to get a decent GFX card + Monitor etc

Mobo- Any P45 mobo
CPU - Q9550
CPU Cooler - Arctic cooling freezer 7 pro
RAM - Corsair 2 x 2Gb
GFX - Radeon 4870
Sound - ur call if u feel u need it
HDD - again ur call, my personal choice is the seagate 500Gb 7200.11
Case - again personal choice
Power - Corsair 650TX
DVD - Samsung DVDR/W
Monitor - Depends what size u want

Ya, it's possible to get it all in under 2k, but you'll have to cut a few corners (i.e sound card would be out of the question).

P45 would be the way to go imo. For intel anyway.

BenQ and others have released 22" monitors that will do full HD resolutions, not sure about the other models but the BenQ's have been going for well under $300 - bought my parents one and it goes fine.

4GB ram can be had for ~$100, still much cheaper than ddr3

I'd also look at 3rd party cpu coolers to be safe, but this does add to the total price.

needs more grumpy

was gonna say that

needs more cowbell

Freezer 7 Pro is about $30 i fairly good investment imo..

how much would it cost me to get like a whole new tower like i can keep my old mouse n keyboard n moniter n headphones n shit just the actual comp is wat i need

depends on how much $$ u gotz.
