hey guys well pretty much my computer is on the verge of shitting itself, i no a little bit about them but no where near enough to know if i'm getting ripped off when getting one built.

My pc is about 2 years old, it's slow and probably has more virus's than an Indonesian person.

I no theres alot of you that spam the Audio/Misc section with wonderful comments on Pc's that are for sale with "omg that is way to much your asking blah blah"

was wondering if those haters would be able to give me some specs on a decent system that i could take to my local pc shop and ask them to build and a rough price on what it'd normally cost.

i've got about $500 - $600 to spend, i don't do much gaming, more so multi tasking programs, and heaps of burning.

I don't need a screen just the tower, already running a 32''.



Please don't move this to Tech head corner... i've posted some stuff up in there before and it takes about a week to get a reply... Lol

Try whirlpool.net.au i think. Much more traffic than the IT section on here. If your thread gets to stay here, can the mods please move mine out here to? lol.

whirlpool ey!!!! i'll give that a look as well.


just was trying to get a couple of quick answers in the next hour so i can run it down to them and be like BAAAAHHHH i no how much this should roughly be you thieving scum! Lol

Just went to whirlpool.net and that place is so un unser friendly it's not funny hahaha or quite possibly i couldn't be bothered looking at the 50 links you could click on there home page!

hahaha yeah ill say. Im new to that site and fark their setup is shit. but if you manage to find the section you want, they can be pretty helpful.

the title says "computer LITERATE people look here..." i've had 43 veiws... no one must be computer literate

Gamedude have a bad reputation with warrant and return..

If your current PC is 2 years old and is performing badly due to software related issues, why are you aiming at buying a new one?

A new PC would only be required in the event that your current one is beyond repair OR cannot do what you need it to do.

Let me ask you this:

If you go out and buy the newest whizz-bang computer costing $4,000.00 to build, what's going to stop that computer from developing the same issues you have now? Will you simply discard it and buy a new one?

That's like the engine on your car running out of coolant, oil and water. Do you simply trade it in for a new one?

If you answered yes to either of the previous two questions, please PM me your address and I'll come and rifle through your garbage.

PS: PM me if you want advice. I don't check this forum regularly, I'm just bored now.

PPS: I am qualified.

i could build a decent web browsing pc for that.

its well out of date. a week after you buy a machine its old so 2 years is like ancient.

pm me with the exact details and ill come up with something.

virus programs and umart are ur friend. ive got an old pc at home. still runs fine.

best bet would be to try upgrading some parts in ur current setup if ur lookin to buy a new one. or just virus scan it.

but easy way is look at new ram, motherboard, cpu maybe video card (doubt ull need it) and hdd. hopefully cdrom and stuff will still work.

what are the specs of ur old maching?

Think that's probably me you are referring too. What are your current parts? so you can save abit and upgrade it instead.
I think you should reformat your computer if it's software related.
Best place to build would be MSY, or build it yourself it is not hard at all. $500 is pretty much a budget build... unless you're upgrading might be good to post your specs.
I'd get something like this for $500

CPU: Asus M2N68-AM+ $79
Motherboard: AMD AM2 x2 7750BE $98
RAM: 2G-800 Team $35
HDD: W.D SATA Green 160GB $60
Case+PSU: Coolermaster 330 /331 /332 /334 $75
DVD: SATA Samsung $28
GPU: 512M 9600GT Inno3D $124

$499.

That doesn't include the $70 build price though.

Gamedud are shit dude. I have had alot of problems with them in the past. Msy are really cheap but if you dont know alot about computers you could run into problems. If you dont know much about computers i would go with a dell. It wont be the FO SHIZZLE OR NIZZLE , but they offer more support than Msy. If you want the FO SHIZZLE OR NIZZLE go with Msy

I've never had any problems with Gamedude, allthough I only brought all the parts and put it together myself which saved a little bit aswell I ended up building a pretty fast PC for around 450-500$ ish.
