I wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems good enough. Basically, I want the best computer possible for the least money possible. I checked out Cyberpower PC, and thought that their prices were very reasonable. My question: Is this a good deal? I have configured a PC to these specs:
CASE: Raidmax Sagitta Mid-Tower 420W Gaming Case
CPU: (Sckt775)Intel® Core? 2 Duo E6400 CPU @ 2.13GHz
MOTHERBOARD:MSI P6N SLI-FI nForce 650i SLI Chipset LGA775 FSB1333 DDR2 Mainboard
MEMORY: 1GB (2x512MB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB 16X PCI Express
LCD Monitor: 17" VA1703WB TFT Active Matrix SXGA LCD Display Monitor
HARD DRIVE: Single Hard Drive (250GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 8MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)
OPTICAL DRIVE: 18X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER
SOUND: 3D WAVE ON-BOARD 5.1 SOUND CARD
as well as speakers, a mouse, keyboard, yadda yadda. This is all for $1340.00.
My main concerns are: "How long will an 8800 GTS 320 last?" and "Is 1 Gig of RAM enough, especially with Vista?"
So....for this price - Deal or No Deal?
