So I'm planning to buy a pre-built 1300$ish pc. - Hardware & Software

Is it worth the buy? Here are the specifications. Processor Intel Core i7 Manufacturer INTEL Processor model 3770K Physical cores 4 Virtual cores 8 Processor frequency (GHz) 3.5 Cache (KB) 8,192 Motherboard Slots 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1 1 x PCI Model B75MA-P45 Integrated sound Realtek ® ALC887 8-channel audio Integrated network Realtek RTL8111E 10/100/1000 Mbps SATA II 5 SATA III 1 RAM Capacity RAM (MB) 8,192 Memory DDR3 Frequency (MHz) 1,866 Maximum Memory (GB) 32 Memory slots 4 Hard disk HDD Capacity (GB) In 1000 Rotational Speed (RPM) 7,200 Buffer (MB) 64 SSD Interface, SATA 3 Capacity (GB) 120 Video Card Processor NVIDIA Type of video card Dedicated Model chipset video nVidia GTX560 Memory capacity (MB) 1,024 Multimedia Type of optical drive DVD-RW Write Speed 22x Ports PS / 2 2 USB 3.0 2 RJ-45 Yes USB 2.0 4 HDMI Yes VGA Yes DVI 1 Audio Output Yes Mic Yes Additional Information Accessories included Keyboard, optical mouse, user manual, power cable Housing Middle Tower Power source (W) 600 Warranty Guarantee compliance 2 years Commercial Warranty According to the warranty certificate issued by manufacturer Other Dimensions (W x D x H cm) 18.5 x 49.5 x 48 Color Black Weight (kg) 8.7 How it should look like [url]http://i.altex.ro/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/l/clcmyrlivev12_1.jpg[/url] I looked around and around and it should literally max any game on 1280x1024 so it seems worthy to me.

No, for $1300 you could build your own and have a GTX 670, and some other nice shizz.

Well my current pc is like from 2003 and still working heh so basically I am unable to upgrade it piece by piece, the website also has a cheaper version with these specs... costs about 850$. And if you're wondering what country, i am from europe,romania.

Even worse, gimme 5 minutes and I will put you together a computer you can build yourself. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] Do you need a Hard drive, OS, any periphreals?

If you're comfortable with building your own computer, I'd recommend this build: [b]CPU:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i53570k]Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor[/url] ($219.99 @ NCIX US) [b]CPU Cooler:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-cpu-cooler-rcxzaio92]Rosewill RCX-ZAIO-92 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler[/url] [b]Motherboard:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz77xud3h]Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard[/url] ($149.98 @ NCIX US) [b]Memory:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f312800cl9q16gbrl]G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory[/url] ($87.99 @ Newegg) [b]Storage:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd10eads]Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive[/url] [b]Storage:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ocz-internal-hard-drive-agt325sat360g]OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5" Solid State Disk[/url] ($48.88 @ NCIX US) [b]Video Card:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42678kr]EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card[/url] ($407.98 @ Amazon) [b]Case:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-t410001]NZXT Tempest 410 ATX Mid Tower Case[/url] ($69.99 @ Amazon) [b]Power Supply:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ocz-power-supply-ocz700mxsp]OCZ 700W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply[/url] ($49.98 @ NCIX US) [b]Optical Drive:[/b] [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sony-optical-drive-ad7280s0b]Sony AD-7280S-0B DVD/CD Writer[/url] ($22.98 @ Newegg) [b]Total:[/b] $1057.77 [i](Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)[/i] [i](Generated by PCPartPicker 2012-08-26 15:19 EDT-0400)[/i] Basically you get similar parts as to what your $850 build offers, but with more power than your $1,300 build offers. There is almost no noticeable difference between these i5's and the i7's while gaming, so your money should go into a better graphics card and more memory. Also with this build you get a small SSD for extremely fast boot. Everyone loves USB 3.0 so the case in the build has it as well.

And i pretty much know nothing of pc building lol

[QUOTE=Tobor;37418200]Don't bother I'm not planning to buy components and on top of that I never bought something off the internet.[/QUOTE] Well, there is a site called Newegg which is what everyone here uses ( whos in the US ) and they give you no problems. People always get ripped off buying prebuilts, that $1300 computer has a horrible graphics card for the price and the i7 is overkill. And the 850 build has an even worse graphics card that can barely run anything. Theres also nothing wrong with buying off the internet, and if you still don't want to then you can go to a PC store and buy the individual components and have a pretty nice computer thats much better than a prebuilt. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] Its also really easy to build a computer, put in a few screws, connect the cables and install the OS which takes like 20 minutes.

I dunno the the i7 would be perfect for future games, and I could easily switch the gtx 560 to a better nvidia one when its time, (got any suggestions?) My city is full of crap so I won't have luck at getting good stuff. How about this idea, I get the cheaper build and change the needed stuff?

The i7 will NEVER be better for games because they will never need the hyperthreading, yeah you COULD swap the 560 for a better card when its time but thats just more money you have to spend. Just look at this build I made and decide whether or not you really want to buy a prebuilt. This build will max anything at 1920x1080 at around 60 fps. and will last you a good 4 - 6 years before anything needs to be replaced. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Capture972.PNG[/IMG] [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] You can change the case if you want, just a placeholder at the moment. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] This is also without the OS, but thats only $100.

Well the idea of this thread was to mostly ask a question if its gonna max games at 1280x1024 and you also forgot about shipping from us to europe would probably make me end up paying quite the same price if I'm right sorry too much hassle for me. So the second build is not worth it right? And it also comes with a mouse and keyboard so its not a total ripoff (I've been search through many romanian websites and none of them would come with them and the rigs were even worse so those are literally the best builds from my country that I've seen)

Oh, you're build is in euros? Yeah the 2nd build is even worse, I mean you can still get the same parts off scan or some other europe sight. If you're going to get a prebuilt then get the 1st one, but you're still being ripped off. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] And yes the 1st build will max games at 1280x1024 but the 2nd sure as hell wont.

Romania? They should have some pc parts stores. Dont you have any geek friends / co-workers that might know one?
