Topic: New Computer

[Sidewinder{DoH}]

Well I figured I'd give Warhammer a shot on this computer. Its not that the game is unplayable, but I'm getting some wierd bugs in the game, like the game always crashes to the main menu, and makes me agree to the licenses again. So I've decided to order a computer next week. I guess i'll go the easy way and just order a Dell, seams like the best option for me since I don't want to build one.Now, how much money do I want to spend...

How much is always the question and even when you've set a budget, you always go over it, I know, just did it a few weeks back. I'm not a huge hardware guy, so can't throw out specs off the top of my head, but once you get an idea just post and we can give feedback.

If you go with a pre-built check out IBM/Lenovo.  I think they make a better machine.

Being in Canada there are not a lot of options for prebuilt machines. Dell is definetly the most convenient one and you can get a great warranty from them. I may order one this week. Something that would last awhile.

Or, peek at gateway, just in case.

Ok so this is what I'm looking at getting from Dell.

Intel® Core™2 Q9550 (12MB,2.83GHz, 1333FSB)
4GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz OC'd up to 1600MHz-4 DIMMs
nVidia GeForce GTX 280 – 1024MB
1TB Performance RAID 0 (2 x 500GB Seagate SATA 3Gb/s 7200 RPM HDDs)
Windows Vista™ Premium

I'm not sure but I think it comes with a 1000w psu. Which I know on my bro's computer basically just idles. Best to have lots though in case I want to sli that very power hungry gtx 280 someday.

Should be nice.  You get a confirmed delivery date yet?

[Thor]

Looks good. You're a bit beyond what I built, you'll be pleased.

[Sidewinder{DoH}]

Nope still waiting on confirmation for delivery date. Estimate is Oct 6.
