Help me buy a new computer please $5.00 reward

Mainly need one for college, high def youtube, and able to record with a happauge hd pvr with no lag, and I also need to pay off the bad boy so I must be able to safely run 4 to 6 bots while being able to use at least one more program like the happauge recording for my xbox or use youtube. I refuse to build a computer, I'd rather get one out of the box and spend the extra 150 I would save building one.

I've been looking around and am hooked on hp, but I've had a 10 year old gateway which caused 1.2k back in its day and is still fast, but outdated. My limit is 1.1k . I have a few links of some that I am interested in and I need you guys to help me out what would suit my needs. Paying 5 bucks for you to help me, but for those of you that don't want to get paid for helping some one, fine by me.

Adding 1 gig ram to total to 9 plus a 18 inch monitor would cope out to 1050.

whatever you recommend, but my limit is 1.1k but I would really love it if the prices stayed under 1k and I am able to pick it up at my local best buy.

 

Heres a pc for 600 that can do everything you mentioned in your post.

It's does not have a very good graphics card, but I suggest a Visiontek radeon hd 5770 for about $150 for a total cost of around $750. the processor is also VERY easy to overclock and could easily run at around 4.3ghz, (I have the same proc in one of my pc's) That will run at least 5-8 bots smoothly.

In my opinion, This is one of the best for your money..

I personally own this pc and I have nor encountered a game yet that I cannot run on max with 3 bots running in the background. The video card isn't the greatest, but It comes with something called ATI Overdrive which lets you overclock it. It also has something called OC Genie built into the mobo. Basically it's a push of the button overclock which will have it running at a VERY stable speed of 4.3ghz. The only negative aspect is that considering that it is a 1156 socket, it's not compatible with any i7's or quad core processors if you wanted to upgrade. The ram is kind of slow at around 534 mhz dual channel, but you can easily upgrade it for relatively cheap (though it looks as if this model of the pc has 1066mhz, so it's all good in the RAM department) . It's a beast computer anyway and you really shouldn't need to upgrade anything because of performance issues.

Here you go, 300 dollars off which is better than the above one by the look of the specs, personally I don't own this and I just built my own. Draw back how ever is the above one might be better if you were to overclock, as I doubt this one has a user friendly feature to OC for new guys. It is an i7 intel processor and more memory. Better get it fast before price goes back up to 1.2k
