What computer should I buy?

Keystone · #1 11-07-2006, 06:47 PM

So Im getting a new computer and would be willing to spend up to 1k. I already have two monitors and a graphics card, so I just need the processor.

Im looking for one that is really fast and will not get [censored] by pokertracker.

What do I get?

Also, do they make desktop computers that have built in wireless cards like laptops because that would be cool?

Thanks

I also need this computer to have a PCI express x 16 slot for the graphics card I have.

So basically I want a computer that can handle poker tracker, is really fast, under 1k, built in wireless, and a PCI express x 16 slot for my graphics card.

Suggestions?

You have to build it custom. Buy the parts from newegg.com, and put a 10k rpm hd in it, etc.

I hope you dont mean that I have to build it. Im at like a kindergarten level when it comes to computers.

Are there no computers like the one Im looking for?

Im not looking for much

You definitely do NOT have to build your own computer.

Maybe what Rhett meant is that you can go to a site and "customize" it.

There are many cheap deals out there that Dell offers, google coupon codes before you buy too.

I would go with Core Duo processor, at LEAST 1GB memory, and at the least...a Serial ATA hard drive.

If you want them to sell you a computer w/o a video card, Rhett's right that you'll have to build your own. (There's a limit to what "customization" they allow.) I agree that you can just get a dell and minimize the card it comes with, but know that you'll still pay for a very respectable videocard in any Dell that cost $1k.
