Okay, I've actually posted here before.. but now I'm confused. First let me post this
This was the PC I was pretty much set on buying until I started doing more research.. it is a PC from Best Buy and nearly all of the reviews there were positive.. the responces from my other thread were positive too BUT I just need to know for sure! I'm totally uninterested in building a computer from scratch because I do not have the time to learn and it doesn't really interest me much anyway.. I was really wanting a PC sooner than later but if anyone could find me a good deal online that I would have to have shipped to me that would be fine too..
I'm looking for a fairly good gaming rig for around $1000-1499ish.. my PC at home is HORRIBLE and nearly anything would be better than what I've got now.. I do game when I feel like it and I like for my games to look pretty when I play them. The only PC game I know of that I'm really looking forward to playing that I know I wouldn't be able to with my setup at home is Operation Flashpoint 2 which is coming out sometime next month and ArmA 2 which is out now.. I've tryed the demo and it destroyed my other PC at home. I just want something that I can get and start playing around on.. I don't want to buy a PC and fool with upgrading it and such.. I was looking at some of the PCs on Newegg and a lot of them looked really good but I don't know enough about the parts to say for sure which one I would like to buy..
I'm actually in a rush to go somewhere so sorry if this is poorly written but I just need some help.. bottom line, I need a gaming rig that's good for under $1500.... thanks!
