Looking to purchase a new computer Wednesday need suggestions

[-1nf1n1ty-]

Well, I would build my own computer but Im really tired of doing that, but I still might consider it, but for now I was wondering if there are any really good companies out there that make GREAT PC's(like voodoo pc except they're kinda bad now) companies I wanna stay away from are alienware dell, hp. so PLEASE everyone if you have a site let me know by posting it on this thread thanks for the help!

Take a look here..

Come on though, nothing beats building it yourself.. Takes 1 hour max to put it together, and saves you money!

^^ +1 to Cyberpower. I haven't ever bought one, but I have heard GREAT things about them.

690 II Advanced

 

[JATownes]

^^+1 to this as well. I use the CM690II Advanced (first new case if a few years) and I LOVE it. It is an amazing case for the $$$.

 

[-1nf1n1ty-]

meh I think imma use my ultra aluminus case, its still great and very roomy

 

[reverze]

That one linked looks pretty nice to me as well..

Here's my case.. It's a little more simple, but has a good amount of room.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163121&Tpk=Silverstone FT01-BW

A nice large side window to show off your clean setup, with some black interior to go along with those new parts..

OH GOD I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT CASE, grrrr I dont wanna spend alot i'll think about this one definately

 

[adcom32]

I just dont see spending that much on a computer case. Thats just my opinion though

 

[DRDNA]

price out at cyberpower then see if you can beat the price!

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

Man I can't imagine you being satisfied with a manufactured pc. I know it is more of a PIA to build one, but at least you know exactly what is installed. You have the freedom to choose the exact parts you want vs sorta fitting the bill.

Are you going to be overclocking the CPU and Graphics Card?

If so the 5850 you have picked out wont overclock far because its a non reference card (fan in the center).

The 930 is a good chip but if you want something that clocks well a older batch 920 (3800#)
is much better and cheaper.

Me personally, I will be getting this case, next: Silverstone Fortress FT02. But my second choice would be this (Cooler Master 690 II Advanced) for the price and I have the CM 690 and it is a nice case.

I wont be overclocking anything trying not to wear out parts, and Im not really skilled in it and I dont want to follow a guide, Im not going to overclock anything

besides I heard ups and down about the 920 vs the 930 some say the 930 overclocks more and some of the benchmarks I've seen have actually shown that, and I just dont care much about OCing, the pc im getting is going to be better than my friends, so thats kinda all i care about,lol(he has a 920, 6 gb, and 280gtx all i remember)

edit:http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=22622&page=11 review, says that the 930 is "Better than the decent Core i7 920 in every way" and really shines when OC so I may oc but I wont do it myself I'll get someone else that is professional at it to do it for me, otherwise I dont really find OC worth it

 

[Delta6326]

i really like that case but my favorite is the NZXT M59

i have both and i like the tempest more way better cooling and more space and the new evo has better cable management

 

[-1nf1n1ty-]

I think if there is going to be a case to buy it will be this one:
