Getting new pc.. need help :)

[iLegendary]

The spec's need to be for Graphic/web design & gaming.
My budget is 2000 USD.

-Thanks in advanced.

WoW man, you could get the best of everything with that much, not to mention you're in the US, where it's even cheaper still.

I'd reccomend:
512mb/1024mb Graphics card (I personally prefer Nvidia).
2gb/4gb RAM
2.66G/hz Duel Core processor, or around abouts.

Of course, you could easily get double all of that + extras and still have money to spend, but it's up to you.
You can decide what to get for the rest

[iLegendary]

Well, I'm not from the US... I'm from Denmark...

You think I should but a pre built or build my own?

[TriggerTech]

Heres my opinion:

Processor:

Intel Core i7 920 D0 (SLBEJ) 2.66GHz Nehalem
or
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 EO Stepping 3.16GHz, Wolfdale

Both very good although you could go even better just remember to build your budget around it

for RAM:

G.SKill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz
or
Most high Mhz Ram Upto 4 Gig unless you want a 64bit windows

For HDD Space:

I would just go with a standard 250Gb but if you want real performance you will want a solid state drives Velociraptor is a good example

Maxtor DiamondMax 23 250GB 7200RPM

For Graphics Card:

I look for a well priced but powerful card in my builds my favorite card currently in this category is below

Asus ATI Radeon HD4890 1Gb GDDR5

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

Extras:

Again if you want real smooth performance watercooling works well theres a cheap package by corsair i believe.

If your a gamer a nice Disk drive will do the trick, possibly a Blue Ray again not too bad on price nowadays

and sound quality is always good in gaming so again a good sound card will be ideal for you.

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

Notes:

Pretty much all of these parts have been used by me in previous builds at sometime or another.

Im from Australia..

Definantly build your own. Never buy pre-built ones.

[Extasey]

You can buy custom built computers off eBay which are pretty damn cheap for the stuff they have!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Core-i7-920-New-N...576wt_1148

is just an example, although its from Australia.

To be honest, I built my computer, and it was a good project, taught me a lot, but I don't think I will be doing that again. But i will not be buying a Dell or something, a custom built by a professional soundss like a good idea.

annnddddd... if need be, for that in particular computer, you can upgrade it pretty easily as it comes with an SLI motherboard, sou you can buy another board, plug it in, and get even more speed. If thats not enough, theres room for one more!!

Oh and by the way, if anyone is going the buy that, it will need a 64-bit operating system to recognize the full amount of RAM available.

[Akshay*]

the best will be



Wndows Xp sp4 with INTEL pentinum 4

nvidia graphics card 3gb


LOgitech [ mouse and keyboard]unwired


creative 7.1 sound system


ram 2 gb


hardisk 320gb


digicam

ups : emerge

cpu : i-ball

monitor : samsung,




i apologise if any thing is left

[iLegendary]

I dont think I am going to buy that, since it's over in Australia...

you should probly look at alien whare computers

Probably not, you can build the same rig as an alienware for half the price.
