Question 1: What operating system would be best for gaming? Windows XP, windows Vista or Windows 7?
beside that question what do your think once again I know the GFX card is mere crap, but the other one I wanted (that had a GF 9800 GTX) jumped up with a extra 1000 DKK (about 197 Dollars)
so heres the finance part:
Total price: 4875 danish kroner( about 951 dollars)
Part I gotta pay for: 2000 kroner(about 390 dollars)
(update: It's pretty much the same price)
So what do your think? if you'r wan't more info feel free to ask...
I'm excited really :)
Not too sure, but I thought that Q8***'s arn't the best CPU's for the price you pay.
Should be okay with a GPU upgrade though =]
Get Q9550.
Look into buying a computer around Christmas. Prices will be lower and/or new stuff will be out.
(but my brother know someway to make the processor make all the work so...) What?

What he wrote, the way he wrote it and his meme avatar...
Why settle for upgrading it later? Just get a good computer to start with.
What do you think about building one? For a start it will enable you to cut out crap like that Acer.

any better?
wait until near christmas, prices will change a lot in that time and you'll end up coming back to get more for your money then anyway
Make this post approximately 1 1/2 weeks prior to Chirstmas. You'll probably get a better build and you can wake up on Chirstmas morning and build it :smile:
lol :P read the posts again! this is only a plan for what it COULD be it will NOT be bought until christmas
But there is no point in planning for what it COULD be until it is much closer to Christmas.
Why make a false estimate? Waste of time.
Dont ask me is my parents that came up with what they wanted to buy for me for christmas, but they also said they wouldn't buy it until a couple of weeks before christmas... but this thread were dedicated to what your thought of that computer not of the time I get it...
Well, three weeks prior. You wanna get this all picked out ASAP. Just go ahead and get a build together in a month or so, then when it comes close to time to order, post it on FacePunch and ask if there is anything better and/or cheaper to replace in your build.
Now, this new system is much better!
Don't get a g31
:vomit:
Get a p45 PQ5 PRo Turbo is a goody

I got mine Open Box for 80bucks, works fine
Budget?
Wait are you building or what?
Its a danish website where you choose what parts you want on, and then they put it together for you (service) it can be modified with ease
Build your own, they've got to make money on building it, so building your own would save cash.
