Hey, my POS computer has prompted me to search for a new(er) model. I was poking around the major retail chains and found this deal on dell:
XPS 420
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E8500 (6MB L2 Cache,3.16GHz,1333FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium w/ Digital Cable Support SP1
4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs
ATI Radeon HD3870 512MB GDDR4 <--GPU
640GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cacheâ„¢
Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Speaker System
and ofc other bells and whistles..blah blah support blah blah.
This is all for $1,100. Is this a good deal? It doesn't include a monitor so I'll have to tack on another...200 bucks or so for 19" from Newegg. I know pretty much nothing about building a PC, but that doesn't mean it isn't an option.
Anyone know of anything better with that approximate price?
edit: Oh, forgot to add that his PC would be for gaming. I found out that my PC literally laughs at me when I try to run Warhammer.
Yeah...it's that bad.
