You forgot to include the OS...Originally Posted by flameethrower
Heres a quick i5 build that includes a complete system that is hair more than the dell since its using better ram,motherboard,and cpu,power supply. Not to mention includes 22". The dell is using a older athlon ii am3 which is very slow and integrated gfx. And pcie gfx card will beat integrated.
you WILL NOT find a build like this for this price or cheaper for a prebuilt.
Last time i seen a i7 prebuilt from FX they wanted voer 1800 for it and they used really sub par parts.
Just messing with you.
I don't understand why we are arguing about this. It is never a bad idea to build a PC if you or someone you know knows what they are doing. Most people though can do just fine with a pre-built. When you are doing more intense stuff like gaming or 3D rendering that require better RAM and video capabilities, it becomes almost necessary to build your own. Either way, it all comes down to budget and personal preference.
