is it worth it to purchase the latest, best pc on the market, that is around 3 times the price of a normal pc?

i mean those GBs, GCs, DDR3s, i7's.....cant believe those high prices...

i need a new desktop pc ( i have a lap top from 3 years ago ). imo a better option is a desktop pc, more value for the money since i can get better performances for less $, and i really dont need another lap top.

Some opinions about what to purchase in terms of how much RAM, what kind of GC, processor or whatever. Im not a computer freak so anything can help out.

i will use it for internet, but also some gaming and online gaming and gambling ofcourse.

the pc will be virtually turned on 24/7

apple is not an option


thanks

I asked this question recently with regard to a gaming PC as I was ready to drop around 2k for one. A few guys, including Lippsman I believe, told me that I was crazy to spend that much. I ended up getting one for around 800 bucks or so that works great for the games I was trying to play.

Take some time going through newegg and build yourself a sweet system for around $500 max...

Add cheap ssd to load your OS and games on.... I just picked up a 120gb agility III and 16gb ram kit for new trinity A8 laptop for 150 bucks...

These 2 links will steer you into the right direction:

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-overclock-benchmark,3276.html

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-pc-overclocking-pc-building,3273.html

Get at least a 120 GB SSD .....even if you have to step down on the Graphics Card. ( Graphics cards are pretty powerful these days for the money). You can move a lot of old hardware into these systems n save money that way too.

Download good quality software through torrent .....Win 7 , Acronis Image Maker , ..... etc etc

There's a lot of really good values out there ... don't go for the latest, greatest tech. Also HD prices stayed up because of the Tsunamis so it might take a lil lookin around for good deals , but not really a deal breaker.

Good Luck

checkout these sites for good sales on computer parts...

tigerdirect.ca

ncix.com

newegg.com

If you can assemble it yourself all the better.

Barebones kits on sale is a great place to start your shopping

Don't assemble it yourself, unless you or a close friend has experience.  You might save 50 bucks, but what happens when the computer won't power up?

That new Vizio looks bad ass. I saw it for $700.00 at Sam's Club. I don't know about specs and all of the other stuff but it got some good reviews. One of the nicest looking PC's I have ever seen.

How can you expect a recommendation when you don't even say what your going to use it for.   

I just bought a laptop for $600 and it is fantastic.  Does everything I need it to and FAST.  But I have a limited "need" list.

Actually you can get some fantastic deals on great PC's at Walmart that have tremondous longevity.

The price can be reduced even further if you are able to locate the Walmart that austinhoopsdream works at.
