I recently got a new gaming computer for graduating.
This is awesome but when discussing it with my dad he did not trust me building my own, even after intense arguing he went out and bought a new computer from one of the most overpriced companies on the market. Guess what, I get to pay half for my new computer (so I bought myself a grad gift that was overpriced!?) Well as the story The computer came to a total $1,200. It was $1,400 thankfully I had a decent discount. Ok, so I need your advice, and your rating of my new computer.
specs:
i7 920 2.67 (water cooled)
1.8gb?(thats what is says on the info sheet)260gtx (single)
6gb of ddr3 1333mhz
500gb hd
Thoughts on this, is there a way to actually get my money out of this? Should I upgrade the card or just keep it how it is? Was it worth it for me only paying $600
How far can I overclock the processor, should I replace anything?
For $600 dollars that's a pretty good deal.
I don't get what you're asking.

For you yes, but in total no. That's not even that great pretty much standard. Your dad is fucking dumb.

How far can I push the processor, should I replace anything?

Push sounds like you're saying overclock.
And tell us what you do with your new computer.
I think he does want to overclock... for some reason.

Mind, why would you OC an i7... OP please clarify

Yeah exactly, sorry long day
I mostly play single player games, generally because have the amazing hughesnet internet (satellite). Live 3/4 of a mile from cable and dsl is not available either but games like, Empire Total war, GTA IV, Mass Effect 1-2, stuff like that
I'd say that pc could cover gta4 on max.... Mine plays it on mid high and mine's pretty average compared to yours.

Close but not quite, the new shadows hog up memory and are really GPU intensive so you won't be able to "max" it out but you can get almost everything on very high with decent fps(not quite 60 though).
Alienware?
[QUOTE=Nexus435;23401206]Alienware?[/QUOTE]
It sounds like Alienware.
Sounds like the PC I'm about to start building in a week or so.
i7 processor but with more RAM, and more HDD space and SLi
Over clocking depends on the Motherboard. Most you can do it in the bios and some still use the old jumper settings and most OEM boards have it locked out or the jumper pins removed.

Even high-end brands like Alienware?
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;23402396]Even [b]Low[/b]-end brands like Alienware?[/QUOTE]
Fix'd
Yeah okay we get it, building is better than Alienware, but isn't an Alienware better than a $350 Compaq Presario SR5130NX?
Looking nice...

Sorry to be off-topic, but I'm about to move due to my house being sold, and I'm moving to a mountain, is Hughesnet good for the price, and can it come with bundles such as DirectTV, Phone, and Hughesnet?
On-topic:
Where did you buy this from, thats a good price you have there.
[editline]10:05PM[/editline]
Wait, this sounds exactly like an alienware.
I wouldn't replace anything, you might want to think about grabbing another HDD soon depending on how much space you typically use, but otherwise that PC is good. Overpriced, but good.

Yeah my dad bought it through Alienware because he had a discount to dell? Even though the same computer could be bought for much less, if you put it together yourself. $Only 600 payment for me though
