Default Re: I need a desktop, but I cannot build it myself.

If you don't have the time, the skills, or the desire to build a PC then buying one is the best option. Also, with the super prices currently on desktops, for general use buying one is a great option.

I think it would be helpful for us to know what you plan on doing with this desktop. I have to be honest, the thought of spending $1k-$1.5k on a desktop computer at this point in time is almost baffling to me. Unless you are a serious gamer or doing some heavy video editing, you can get a very nice name brand pc, built to your basic specs for about half that price. Then again, you might be wanting to do alot more than just play poker, watch movies, surf the net etc on your new pc, we just don't know.

My point is, I would hate to see you spend $500-$800 more than you have to on a pc, unless money is just really no object. For $1.5K you can get a realllly nice laptop, but I'm just throwing that out there. I just hate to see people blow big $$ on extras, features, and hardware they have no use for but don't really realize that until down the road.

Again, sorry I'm not directly answering your questions, but there will be plenty of people (including myself) who will be more than willing to help, just give us an idea of exactly what you want to do with the pc, so we can give you some custom specs for it.
