    11 replies, posted
I live in UAE and i went to a shop that builds custom desktops for you and he gave me this setup: core i7 920 processor. 8mb cache gigabyte x58ud7 motherboard. 8 gb 1600 mhz ddr3 1TB seagate HDD 7200 RPM ati radeon 5770 1gb video card. dvd writer reader dual layer etc.... 800 watts psu ATX tower casing. i got all of this for the price of $1700 What do you guys think of this system. Is the price good. Is there something wrong with the setup?? What would i change?? I am a gamer so i want this desktop to play nowaday games and future games cause i want it to last. Please help.
You can build a core core i5 rig your self with a 5870 for alot cheaper then that.
really, another thread? weren't the other 4 enough? [editline]12:33PM[/editline] also build it unless you either don't have limbs or have a habit of chewing on sensitive electronics
Build it, if you can find any computer parts retailers in UAE...
it good
If you build the same system yourself it would be cheaper.
thanks all
It'll perform well but would be much cheaper to build it yourself as others have said. Do you really need 8gb 1600mhz memory?
ok how about changing ram to 6gb 1333 and motherboard to gigabyte x58aud3r but video card to xfx 5870 for $1600?
how about you build it yourself and save a shitton of cash
you guys dont understand that i buy the parts from a shop as i live in UAE and prices are a bit more expensive and that the shop takes $15 to assemble and build the pc! so i do not save a "shitton" of cash. !! [editline]11:55PM[/editline] please i only want advise on the parts within that price range and their combination. so can you please stop telling me to assemble it myself you are not helping!
Its great, you could go on Ebay and get the parts ;) But sure that rig sounds awesome for gaming.. alot better then my rig.
