That's a pretty good price! Where did you see that? DX11, 1GB, good enoughto to play bf3 on medium-high settings. Don't worry I ain't going to buy it and screw you out of a good deal lol, I build my own PC's |

You order the specific parts you want and put it all together basically is building your own computer. That way you get exactly what you want on a budget that you want, and most of the time it's cheaper then getting a computer from a major manufacturer. |

Ordering stuff like hard drive/ssd, graphics cards, CPU, DVD drives, motherboard, ram etc etc to your specs. Even cables/ribbon cables. I even cut custom windows on my PC's, led, cold cathode lighting, fans etc. last dude I built one for wanted black case, side window (side window was the disturbed 'believe' symbol) and all led's were red, it looked badass! |

If you've never built a computer before, find a friend who knows what they are doing. If you don't have any, find a copy of Maximum PC and check out any builds they have. They are usually pretty good. When you order the parts, read plenty of tutorials about building the computer. |

Just read that review bro and its not a bad review, granted you'll get more from an i7 than i3 but it plays the latest games pretty good. You could do worse dude. if I could talk you through building a PC via typing then I would, but its not that simple lol. Give me your email through in game mail and I'll do my best to write you a guide over the next few days (if you want to go down the 'build your own' path) |

You actually don't save that much money on the main components. They tend to gouge on the storage and ram upgrades. But it's pretty cheap to add more yourself after the fact. Unless you know you want certain features you otherwise can't find, or enjoy it as a hobby, it's not worth the time. This only applies at less than $1000. Above build it yourself. |

That's right but it says it has issues with bf3 on the higher settings, and to be quite honest with you......there really is not that much noticeable difference between medium vs high settings, and high vs ultra settings. How much it will cost all depends on what you want, what CPU (Phenom ii, i3, i5, i7 and so forth), if you want hard drive or ssd, graphics card, (ram is no biggy as its cheap), then you need a motherboard that supports your chosen CPU etc. Choose wisely, if you want ultra high end with top of the line everything for the sake of just HAVING top of the line everything or if you want a decent PC that does not break the bank but supports all games on medium-high settings can determine if you spend $600 or $2000+. $600-$700 can get you a good rig |
