Windows 7 or Windows Vista?

It's not hard to acquire a copy of XP. Can pick one up of the many torrent sites. I won't drop any links or say any names, but if you'd like, drop me a PM and I'll point you in the direction of a great working that Microsoft sees as legit.

U said u have a hard drive so I didn't include one in this
Mobo/CPU 135$
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...9&Sku=B69-4134

Ram 70$
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...937&CatId=3411

Video card 125$(a lil more if u don't get rebates)
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=A271-5774

Case with 500watt power supply(the video card needs a 500watt power suply) 65$
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...961&CatId=3428

DVD driver/burner 20$
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...78414&CatId=89

So for all that it's $415 + new jerseys tax of 7% is $29.05 for a total of $444.05
If u ask me that's a nice pc for $445 but do keep in mind a few things are on sale and have rebates so if u don't get on sale it'd prob be around $500(still cheap for that pc and the vid card will smoke in wow)

yea I no it's a mirco atx but I hvent heard anything bad about 1 yet!

Now putting everything together is the hard part. ;P

[nin88]

I think they'll put it together ffor u prob free...maybe it will cost a few buck but not much...and if u go buy it all at once brin ur hard drive And get em to threw it in also...well that's prob the best ur gonna get for under 500$ and u can't even buy anything close from a few sites for $550 lol yea some mite have ddr3 ram but everything else is crapy

[dulak]

I always buy my stuff from newegg. Never had any issues with them and the customer service is great. My bro in law had a motherboard burn up due to his ignorance and they (newegg) paid to have it RMA'd. The odds of me purchasing PC parts anywhere else for my gaming rig are nil.

Would they put everything together for ya before you have it shipped?

[dulak]

Don't think so. They do however sell barebones kits which come pre-built. I'm A+ certified so building and setting up a PC is pretty much as easy as eating cake lol

[nin88]

Yea same here but that's why I used tiger direct for imasav so they will build it for him so he don't have too. And I hear new egg is good but I use Canada computers or summit direct up here in Canada.
I hate tiger direct in Canada well just the one near me lol...but the wifes grandfather loves em down in the states.

[dulak]

I have only ever purchased from TD once and I'll never do it again. They failed epically getting my product to me. Took them 2 months for 3 days shipping. Never had an issue with newegg lol.

[cabby]

Well, I'm not A+ certified or any of that crap because I believe I shouldn't have to pay someone to give me a piece of paper to say I can do what I know I can do. I've been building my own systems and working with the computers since back in the old Trash80 days. I normally use Newegg for a lot of my parts purchases simply because of the ease of returns if needed but I've also bought my gaming laptop from Tiger Direct. I've never had any problems with either of them, and I've never even thought about if they'd put my parts together for me since I just do it on my own in my sleep.

[nin88]

Yes TD online is 100% fail
but they have stores everywhere so if u go to the store u don't have to worry about there epic fail shipping! Took them 2 1/2 months for em to email me that they didn't have the last digit in my postal code :S
but they r good if u go to the store...but then again this is for imasav that's 15 an not all that goo with pc parts so kept that in mind
that's why I'm pointing him to a store and not online so he can go to the store and get them to build it for him..bc I know here in Canada they build ur custom pc's if u buy all the part from em and I think it's free or a very small fee

[dulak]

Ah very nice. There are no TD stores near me. And Cabby, I agree with ye man, shouldn't have to have a piece of paper telling people that I know what I'm doing but sadly, that's what the world has come to. Would rather trust paper than a mans word.
