sigh, i know, but he said hes not building it part by part. I've built most of my computer, it wouldnt be that hard. Believe me, if it was me, i would make an insanely decent computer for the price, part by part.FatherTed wrote:

Find a computer shop to build it for you? Best of both worlds
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Look, here's a comparison between the 4870 and 7800GTX SLi.Mitch wrote:
Haha good news. One last question, i have an Nvidia 7800gt slightly overclocked, how would that radeon do against my 7800? (hopefully also much faster as my card is pretty old)DeathUnlimited wrote:
They aren't even comparable. 4870 is about 50x better in raw power, not to even talk about features.FatherTed wrote:
it's about a zillion times better
Now the 7800GTX SLi is already WAY better than what you have yourself.

Yer tbh... buying the parts for $900 and spending the rest on paying a computer store to build it for him is probably ideal in this situation (if ur friend agrees to it)

Or if that isn't possible, buy some prebuilt and upgrade what is necessary. In many cases getting a cheap'ish prebuilt and upgrading the graphics card already gives far better value for money than a prebuilt with said graphics. They often put a powerful CPU in with weak graphics which makes it almost impossible to find a good prebuilt gaming machine.

I saw one once with a Q6600 and onboard graphics, advertised as a "game eating machine".DeathUnlimited wrote:

Yeah stuff like that, and a computer with celeron 420 and HD4850, for the same price, would destroy it in gaming usage.Finray wrote:
