Good build for $1000

[Snoozerbear]

So I'm looking to possibly build a new desktop for around $1,000. I wouldn't mind going a bit above that but I'd like to try to keep it near that price range.

I'm still not sure about building my own though, for instance I saw a couple computers on best buy like these:

Asus 16GB Memory 2TB Hard Drive i7 GT640

CybertronPC Shockwave 16GB Memory 1TB Hard Drive AMD FX GT650

Can I really build something better for a similar price?

Building is the way to go, prebuilt desktops sucks. Once u build it, it will blow them 2 desktops away. You plan to be gaming or ?

Those are terrible computers for the money, gaming or no gaming. Unless you're looking at something sub-500 building is always the better way to go.

Is that so mguire, care to get more details on the hardware before you sink the amd machine to the ocean floor ?
The cpu itself isn't bad at all, good case with vents on the side like my aero cool vxe is a plus.
Motherboard and graphics card they don't say much, if its some cheap washup am3+ board nvidia card I 'll agree with you.

Other than that I want and he wants more specs. :/

You do realize that the top linked machine is an i7, right?

Those PCs are almost a grand and don't have an SSD, good PSU, or a good GPU.

How many links do we see here again ?

mguire dont make me hurt you. =_=
Yes there is a intel and amd build from looking at both retail machines.
They seem pretty much reasonable for the price tag.
Please remember when you buy online its not coming from a retail store with accurate prices on most hardware in a physical store such as bestbuy.

If you think you can build him a machine just like it I dare you to spend a budget under 700.00 intel or amd build.

I know you and many other savage young guys love your ssds so well but you wont ever catch me buying one.
Especially with the higher failure rate for most ssds within or before their lifetime. :/

I'll come back with a build and see if he likes it or not.

You're kidding, right? I have built countless machines with good gaming specs SSD or not within a 1000 dollar budget. There is no point though. This guy hasn't come back since he posted. This thread is a waste of time.

Erm... he's not ranting. You're the one that started getting confrontational. Keep it civil, please.
