NEW PC Question.

Hi sythe, I am buying an new pc, since my laptop sucks, for games etc etc..

I am thinking about buying an dell, but NOT an laptop, a Desktop.
The model I am prob buying is this one.

Inspiron 580
Intel® Core™ i3 Processor 550 (3.20GHz, 4MB)
legit Windows® 7 Home Premium 64 BIT - DUTCH
ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 5450 1GB DDR3 graphics
4096MB Dual Channel DDR3 [4x1024] Memory
1 TB SATA-HDD(7.200 rpm)
DVD +/- RW Drive (read/write CD & DVD) with DVD Burn software

But my main question is, Can I play good games on this, Like
GTA VI with good graphics, and
2 Worlds II

Without to much lag, I am more interested in GTA, Would is be possible to play it on that desktop with good graphix and no lagg?
And well runescape, but well don't think that is going to give problems.

And would it be better to take the Multi task faster option?
6.144 MB 1333 MHz Dual Channel DDR3-history [2x2048 + 2x1024


I am dutch so I am sorry for my bad English.
(I hope this is the right forum to.)

 

You should get at least an i5 processor if you want to play games with decent graphics.

Other than that, that computer will be fine.

 

Well, for an I5 processor I would cost me 1,135.62 USD
would it really be bad if i stick with the I3 Processor?
And do u know other good gaming PC's with a good price?

 

Your i3 will most likely be able to play most games i guess...

As for a 'good prices computer', every computer in a retail store has markup on it (obviously). So your best bet is to buy the parts and put it together yourself. It's not hard to do. And you will save yourself a bit of money.

------------------

Just priced a computer for you on http://www.newegg.com/

$914.91

2gb HDD SATA
i5 3.2 Ghz CPU
4Gb DDR3 RAM
ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Motherboard
650W Power Supply
Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB Video Card
CD / DVD Burner
Rosewell Black Gaming Tower
Windows 7 Home premium 64Bit

You could probably save a further $200 if you drop to a different CPU (while still keeping it an i5), Video Card, Motherboard and Gaming Tower.

That setup above would probably cost you between $1,500 to $1,800 retail...

 

hm, yea, i thought about buying the parts seperate, but I have No idea where to get these parts, and there would be no one to help, I am 16, and no one in our house/familly could help me.
think I will stick with the I3 i gues....

 

Not hard to put this shit together. These days they are literally colour coded and / or have everything labelled. You'll only need a small phillips head screwdriver to screw the parts to the box.

Worse comes to worse, i'm sure you could take these parts to your local computer shop and they would peice it together for you for around $100 (bit of a guess), but you would still end up with a better computer for less.

-------------

And seriously, if you have a camera. you could just take photos of the parts and we (ie users of sythe) could guide you how to put it together.

 

thx, for the answer, But wouldnt' 500W be enough, but anyway,
I live in belgium, and buying these parts, is no problem, but installing them...
And do I only need these parts, or even more?

 

the hardest part about installing them, is connecting everything to the motherboard. But like a said most shit is colour coded.

And just take photos of the parts and i could just draw lines on the photos on how to connect the parts together correctly. And in most cases the connections can't be mistaken for other connections (they mechanically only fit one way)

 

ok,
I am curently looking for all these parts
2gb HDD SATA
i5 3.2 Ghz CPU
4Gb DDR3 RAM
ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Motherboard
650W Power Supply
Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB Video Card
CD / DVD Burner
Rosewell Black Gaming Tower
Windows 7 Home premium 64Bit
On the site, but I hope the shipping doesn't cost to much.

 

Ahh true, i don't think newegg ship outside of america

I'm sure there would be some sites that would, try googling computer parts or even your local computer shop should know of some sites.

Or sythe users.

 

Pretty sure these guys ship to belgium - http://www.noracom.de/

 

damn, didn't knew they only ship in amerca
well, maybe next weekend, I can go to a local computer store.
I write everything down, so they can help me, ending up about
the same parts,

Covey, really THX for helping me!!!!!

EDIT: going to look on their site

 

This one ships worldwide and is cheaper - http://www.tigerdirect.com

the other site i gave you seems to be pretty expensive.
And no worries dude, glad to help

 

If I go to the store next week, I will pm U what happened.
In the worst case I just buy A desktop from dell.

Studio XPS 8100 - Intel Core i5 Processor 650 (3,20 GHz, 4 MB)
Legitieme Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64-bits, Dutch
Grafische kaart - Eén 1 GB NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTS 240 grafische kaart
6.144 MB 1.333 MHz Dual Channel DDR3 (2 x 2 GB / 2 x 1 GB)
1,5 TB Seriële ATA-harde schijf (7.200 rpm)
DVD +/- RW Drive (read/write CD & DVD) with Roxio Easy CD and DVD Burn software

 

NewEgg ships to Canada as well, not sure about Mexico though.

Anyways, listen to what Covey says, he knows what he's talking about. Also, remember to get all the parts, if you're missing like a heatsink or something, you won't be able to finish your computer build. Also, one last thing, building your own computer usually will make it future proof for the next two to five years, depending on the motherboard you get. So if you need to upgrade your system because you think it's too slow in the next few years, you can usually do that.

Leetneo, newegg has it's own Canadian site. xP

And GTA IV is a very demanding game, so don't expect it to run flawlessly.

 

I obviously know that NewEgg has two different websites for North America, United States and Canada. They also have a website for China, but that's in Asia, I was talking about North America. NewEgg owns the NewEgg Canada and NewEgg United States, correct? If so, then why not say that NewEgg ships to Canada?

I wouldn't buy a dell since last ones I've had were never compatible with my newer, non dell brand, parts

 

Don't get a dell, it's such a waste of money and it simply sucks.

Customize your own PC and build it yourself or pay someone a few bucks to do it for you. This is the only way to get a good computer for a reasonable price.
