|  Need some advice on computer specs
So I have been needing a new computer for over 3-4 years but always kept not saving up for it due to it's being so expensive. Recently I have been seriously starting to save up for a computer now and should have possibly enough money by December 21st (hopefully). So I told my mom about it and she asked her work for me about what specs/how much should I expect to pay. Just today she came home with a print out of what should be recommended. I'm not really good with computers in terms of specs/hardware so I'm asking if this would be a good gaming computer. I'm not going to put down the stuff that won't matter spec wise (computer case is an example), but the price came out as $481 with Tax/shipping. Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Bare Drive I just want a powerful gaming computer that would be able to play high end mmo's, LoL and other online computer games (perhaps left 4 dead 2) on High or At least Middle settings. I'm assuming this is powerful enough to play most computer games. (I don't care if I can't play games like skyrim on this) but just want to be able to have more options of online games. My computer I'm using now is actually limited to only endless online..So just how powerful would this computer be and would it be worth the price? Oh and this isn't a all in 1 computer, I was told it's better to buy parts separately and put them together since you can get way better computer for the same price. So that's what this is. --- Owner of Endless Online Insanity Looking for: 2 Artists Darkrulerjoe

Yeah was wondering why I didn't recognize a computer that had all that, it's all parts for the most part. While it is cheaper to build your own computer, personally I would go with one built already so that you can get a warranty to get your money back, where as if you build it yourself you are s.o.l. if you don't know how to fix everything (Not many places that I know of fix custom made computers). The specs you gave would be easily good enough for games like AC, Skyrim, Cod, etc. except you might experience low fps or lag if your internet isn't the best. --- Former multi-server mapper.

And although the warranty is nice, as long as I don't do some thing stupid I probably shouldn't need to use it..I've had the computer I have now for the past 7 years and even back then when I would just do anything on there without thinking of what could happen to the computer, it's still fine lol. A friend of mine says that when your buying parts to build your own computer. Usually the motherboard tends to be the most expensive and based on your motherboard you would need to have your other parts work with the motherboard. Does anyone know if all these parts can go together? I'm assuming they do if this list came from some one who has been working with/on computers for years. --- Owner of Endless Online Insanity Looking for: 2 Artists Darkrulerjoe |
