Hey guys, my computer is four years old.. and has basically shit itself.
I'm on a tight budget, and i need a decent computer that can play COD4, all games like to for under a grand (AUD).

Just to let you know how shit it is, i barely plays RS (runeTek5) on low detail >_<
Vista home basic (i recently installed it because my XP was rooted.)
70gig hard drive
1gb ram
1.73ghz

If you can find me one, or know of a website or something, i would love you forever!
 
If you want a cheap computer build it yourself its much cheaper

This. Just buy the parts and put it together and its so much cheaper...
 
Just hit up newegg or tiger direct, then buy your parts and put it together, you will spend at most like 500-700 on parts compared to the same computer costing 1100-1400 from a company
 
It runs Wow at the highest quality with a decent frame rate. Don't knock it till you try it.

Keep in mind neither of these two have operating systems on them so if you cant get a cheap operating system you will be spending a little extra money when purcahsing it.

I went onto Dell's website and customized a computer I thought I would end up buying through them. It came out to around $2300 USD by the time it was done. I printed out the specs, and brought it into a computer super store, Microcenter, and had an employee look up either the same parts, or ones equal / slightly better. And, with the parts from Microcenter, that same build, some parts being better, came out to around $1400 USD. So, I can save $900 by building it myself. And, if I want to upgrade it, it will be much easier to do so.

RAM: Ocztech 6GB DDR3-1600 Gold XTC Kit
Processor: INTEL CI7 920
Internal Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB 3.5" SATA 7200 RPM
Sound Card: Creative PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty
Graphics Card: XFX Radeon HD4850 xXx, 512MB GDDR3, Dual Dual-Link DVI, TV-Out, HDMI, HDCP, CrossFire, PCIe2.0
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P 1366 ATX

100% correct, as previously stated, you pay so much for the label, only perk to using a service is the FULL PC WARRANTY and customer support, which obviously is possible if self-built, however, $900 can do a lot.

I know it is alot cheaper, but i dont know how to put one together :(
 
Id wait for HD5XXX series which wont be too expensive and are verry powerful.

I ordered my I7 rig with GTX295 from germany and it was about 1100 bucks with vista. (They assembled it for 50 bucks)

You can order parts cheap from Germany :)
 
Listen to everyone and build your own seriously.
Its not technical AT ALL.
