• Is there a better prebuilt for this price?
    16 replies, posted
I'm getting this: [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176496[/url]. Q8300 2.5GHz GTS 250 500W PSU I need to know if anyone knows of a better prebuilt for the same price. And also how bad is the GTS 250? Bearable? And no, I cant build it myself, It's just not an option. I know how, like, obvi, but the person who's paying for will only buy a prebuilt.
Well, you can go with the middle road and look for a website where you select the components, and they build it for you right there before they ship it. It's what I did with my PC and it's way cheaper and better equiped than a pre-built one.
I tried pcspecialist and did almost the same specs and it came out to be pricier.
[QUOTE=Tea;18528624]I tried pcspecialist and did almost the same specs and it came out to be pricier.[/QUOTE] There's alot more than PcSpecialist on the market for these things, I think with a better company, you can do ~450$ with those specs listed above. Maybe even less. Sorry that I don't know any better websites, I didn't delve too deep into these things.

Try to find someplace where you choose the parts and they build it for an extra(usually around $25 or so) it sometimes pay-off.

[QUOTE=Tea;18528219]And no, I cant build it myself, It's just not an option.[/QUOTE] /r/ reason. Pref. tl;dr.
[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;18530586]Why is it not an option?[/QUOTe] Says the person who's paying for it it will only get a pre-built. Don't go ranting on about that either, just help out. Most websites that allow you to choose what you want for them to build sometimes raise the price more than they should, A 250 is about a 9800gt, but you should try to find something better with ati or at least a slightly higher nvidia card like a 275. I remember looking up a site for building my desktop and it was nearly $200 what you could build.
^ the GTS 250 is like a 9800GTX so it is a good card [editline]10:07PM[/editline] The computers I use in my class are those models, they are very power and can handle games maxed out, e.g.: COD4/5, AA3, UT3 and all source games as I have played them on the PC's. I am sure that it can run GTA4 on high.
I would recommend op that you build your own computer better deal and almost always better performance even compared to a prebuilt of the same specs.
Well I'm actually getting that system tomorrow so there's no point making any posts. But thanks to people who actually did give me some advice.
The person buying it is probably wasting money.Could have saved it by waiting and building.
