Buying a computer, need some help.

**Decai** · #1 1st Jan 2009, 19:58

Ok, so I'm buying a new PC, it's been used and the seller is going to upgrade so he's selling his old one.

I was hoping I could paste the specs and then you guys could comment if it's a good purchase or not. the price I'll be paying will be around 600$.

Hard Drive:

Samsung 250GB
RAM:

Exceleram 2x2GB (4GB)
Graphic Card:

Inno3D 8800GT 512MB
Processor:

AM2 Athlon64 X2 6000+, Retail
Motherboard:

AMD Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3
The case is a :

ANTEC SOLO Quiet w/ 500W Powersupply.

The computer will also include a set up VISTA or XP. My choice.
As you may have concluded, I'm not that good with computers, I just want a computer where I can play my favorite games, watch my movies, listen to songs, and such things. :)

If you're wondering what games, I mostly play World of Warcraft and I'm hoping that you guys can tell me how that will run , and how this computer will run other games, newer games.

Thx for your help.

Oh, and I want to point out, my country does not have newegg, so yes, the money I'm spending might be much for a used computer compared to their prices, but according to the best prices in Iceland/Sweden, I'm getting around 30% off the original price. Which is OK when dealing with used products.

It's a little old but if it's a good deal go for it.

But how would it run games? would I be getting some good fps in such games as WoW? Could I play crysis? etc.

instead of reposting just click edit on the bottom of your first post. 1) ive never heard of those companies. are you sure they are good parts? 2) where are you getting these from. 3) does newegg ship to your location?
ill be glad to help you pick out parts if you need help i just want to know where you can get the parts. can you find out if newegg or tigerdirect ships to your location?

Crysis is a horrid game and a horrid benchmark. It will play WoW fine.

When you say ' fine' do you mean ' 20 fps but it won't be superb'

or do you mean ' 60 fps and I will never smash my keyboard for insane fps lag spikes again?! '

I just read that Tiger Direct does International orders, I'm not sure how much extra the shipping would be but it can't hurt to try it. I got the system thats in my sig for under $1000.00 plus I'm getting $120.00 back in mail in rebates so basically I paid about $200.00ish more than what the system you are and its all new so why not give it a try.

that really does sound like a good deal, but then again, I've never built a PC. I wouldnt know what I was doing =\

However, if I would do that, I could probably save a few bucks on f.e. the Hard Drive and CD Rom's case thingy =D. I got that already in my old PC.

Well what I bought was a combo deal, and it was the highest one in that line, so there were others. It came with a case, power supply, mother board, Quad core cpu, video card, 4 gigs of ram, hard drive. The only thing that it didn't come with was a cpu cooler and the operating system, the cpu cooler was 20 bucks and I had the operating system already so I wasn't worried about that. But if it was me I would atleast check it out because this is only my second build and my only problem is I want more .....lol All of us here can help you put it together once you get it, if you decided too... Also I have yahoo messenger so if you want I can help you go through and maybe help you find what your looking for.
