Didn't they know performance in advance? And they still built it? Best buy should be selling it
They are usually the same people who buy pre-built PCs.
They will probably move a lot of these if they are marketed right.
All they need to point out is that it is 8-cores and 3.6ghz stock, and overclocks well.
Then it will sell itself to people who are impressed by big numbers.
even with cheap mobo and ram, the cpu gpu and windows alone will near $500?
You mean AMD Spider
They have 75$ shipping charge
576$ features the 115$ chip... We can easily replicate this
The case is an Elite 430 40$, the mobo is a 95$ one, 4GB RAM is 23~24$, 80$ GPU, 100$ OS (you can get it at 80~85$ if you look hard enough, if you have MSDN/Techplus or wtv its called its free, if you are a student its like 30~40$), Some BS PSU worth 20$, a 55$ HDD, some 15~19$ DVD burner and a 60$ Asetek 510LC. All theses prices are shipped and without MIRs (there is a 30 MIR in all possible I think). Worst case scenario, it is 530$ for the same PC vs 650$. 120$ savings.
If you don't need the OS their price is 492$ + 75$ = 567$, us its 430$. That's 137$ saving. That's 31~32% price-premium over build ourselves.
We can also upgrade the PSU and GPU without BS price premiums.
If that 75$ shipping wasn't there, the price would be OK, but with it, it's a pretty average price...
