its mediocre. depends on what type of games you wanna play. and you also gotta shell out some extra cash for an os system

just kinda like WoW and Guild Wars
and how much is an OS, and what exactly does it do?

 

[Calibound88]

os- operating system, like vista or xp

it will be fine for those games

but you can get a better price if you build your own. if not, you still can find a better value.

you live in the states?

 

[ibangyetis]

yeah, i do

why??

 

[Calibound88]

you can build/buy better items on newegg or even local retail stores. i believe its a little overpriced

well
i dont know how to set up a computer at all and i dont want to try to build it cause i know ill screw it up (im 13)
and i saw a bunch of like $1000 dollar computers in the store, but when i reviewed them online they werent very good

oh and what about the Phenom II X4 940 at 3ghz
its only like 200$, but it seems good
better deal? or is that just cores and not a whole computer itself (like the above)

 

[Rube]

its just the prosessor the Phenom II X4 940 cost $180 on newegg has .4 more GHz and it is quad core
but your AMD Phenom II X3 710 is $100 on newegg has a little less power per core and only has tripple core
it just depends on how much you want to spend

Well the model that I first posted is an AMD Phenom ll x3 710, and I really don't want to pay another $80 for the x4 940
And I kinda want to build my own but don't know how, so Ithink I'll just get the one of from cyber power
Good deal?

Honestly, I don't think it's worth it... Usually when you buy a computer that's been prebuilt, a good portion of the price is them building it. Order your parts separately at good deals from reputable places n put it together yourself.

Putting together your own comp is easy. I did it with my current one with no experience. Just be sure to look at the specs of the parts you want, make em compatible. It's just a simple puzzle, ya know; make sure these numbers match up, get the stuff in the mail, plug stuff into MB where it looks like it goes (with help of MB manual of course), done.
