Could use some advice

Alright, I'm in the market for a new Desktop PC. I have a budget of 800 dollars, but don't really want to spend that much unless it has a Blu-Ray player. I don't feel comfortable building my own really (I probably could, but don't really wanna screw up, or have a part DOA). So far I have found a couple, but my leading one is this:

I'm going to use it for multi-tasking, gaming (Call of Duty and stuff like that).
So if you can find me one, please post here.

RECAP:

800 dollar budget
Please don't post saying "build your own"

Thanks!

 

I will gladly help you with this, add me on msn or I will periodically just post back here.

 

Sorry to double post but I believe I have already maybe found a good one, I'll be adding you on msn, I will be on tonight for a long time, hope to see you on so we can discuss.

 

If you want the best value for money, build your own, just read guides online about it all beforehand - it's not rocket science, it's rather simple.

 

Alright.

I'll see what I can do, it sounds like the best option really. If I screw up miserably I could always take it in to a shop (even though they overcharge).

 

My best advice for you is to go to newegg. look for what you need thats got free shipping and get everything you need. If you want ill get you links to every piece to build one and let it be way under 800$

 

Thanks, I think I found the parts to make a pretty good gaming PC.

It's good but you should really get AMD. Switching the board and CPU and you will be good. IF you'd like I could give you some good supporting reasons as well

 

Errr alright, I think I know why you wanted me to pick AMD (quite a bit cheaper).

So here it is updated.

Ok there you go nice looking through it now. Suggestion: Ditch your picked GFX CArd and get this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102826

You have the money availible and this is a bomb ass card. Has native HDMI and 1GB RAM. Sorta Loud but I gurantee you will like it a LOT better. It also supports Crossfire

 

Well, I'm still not sure which desktop I want. I actually found 2 from Tigerdirect that are at the top of my list:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5205977&csid=ITD

Refurbished (can't get free windows 7 upgrade)
Shorter warranty
Better processor
Costs 120 to ship

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4824070&CatId=3512

New (Windows 7 upgrade)
1 year warranty
Still a pretty solid processor
Blu-Ray!
39 Dollar next day shipping

They both come out to about the same price with shipping, any suggestions?

 

Im telling you bro, build that wish list. You WONT be upset when its built i promise. The GFX card i posted plus your wishlist is actually TOP.


ALSO: Dont waste your time on Windows 7.... It isnt ANY good, as I have a copy of it right beside me. It makes Vista look good...

 

I disagree, it's identical to Vista visually, and it uses the same drivers. Practically everything works with it, and it's definitely faster than Vista.

Also, nice choice for $600, probably the best you're going to find without building your own.

 

Ok, I have my top 2, I expanded my price range and found these 2 which are my final 2 choices.

I'm not entirely sure which one to get, both have I7 920 processors, both have 9gb of ddr3 RAM, one has a Blu-Ray drive with a 1TB harddrive, while the other is 50 dollars less, and comes with a better Graphics card.
