Help on new PC
I have finally decided to get rid of this dinosaur PC that I have.
Things the computer must be able to do.
Extreme Graphics for games
Excellent Graphics for watching movies and anime (not anime porn)
I saw a cool computer at a local Bestbuy today and was ready to buy it but because of the price, I kinda went the other way

Is the one I saw ^^
Anyone want to help? Not looking to spend a billion bucks on one lol

if you can put one together it would be cheaper
$100 case
$150 mobo
$200 processor
$100 memory
$200 gpu
$750-$800 should have you a great pc just an estimation tho
whats the stat on your pc now?

Right now is a great time to not get screwed by getting a new computer for gaming, by not buying one.
Thats right for a limited time you can not fuck your self over by wasting money when both Nvidia and Ati are about to release their next gen specs(thus driving down prices)!
But wait their is more! If you want your system to have an extended lifetime and be able to upgrade you will want to bite the bullet on DDR3. Thats right, its sad but to be worth it your going to want ddr3 support or else your going to need a new motherboard down the road. Why sad, well DDR3 chips are still crazy expensive and will not be "affordable" for another 9-12 months...
Technologically the best time to buy is sometime this fall after Nvidia releases the GT200 core.

yes the ddr3 memory was very expensive for my 790i evga mobo.

There are 3 possible designs for a system to archive ideal Value:
Disposable system: These are the cheapest you can get at the time. They can play the games and meet your present demands. But that is there limitation. Anything that is invented tomorrow will have you instantly yourning for a new system.
Pros: Cheapest solution, will play all your current games and run your current software.
Cons: Ultimately it is like having a disposable camera you use it and buy another one. Because most of the parts were really cheep it is not entirely stable and may have some problems. Regardless it will work and be better than what you had before. Unfortunately most of the hardware is on it's way out the door and it will not be long before it is unsupported. Also to keep up with new software you will need to replace it probably around 2010 with the release of windows 10. What you think it can run that? Give it a try and kiss you gaming days good buy...
Modular System: This is a system that can be upgraded overtime to produce adequate power. To do this an initial investment and loss must be made on the first system in order to achieve upgradeability.
Pros: Your initial investment will last you a long time, if done correctly you will still be using some of your parts after even 10 years. You generally only need to replace one part at a time. This spreads out the cost of the computer over many years. Instead of replacing a bunch of parts only one or two need to be changed at a time. This system can also grow as your needs do.
Cons: It has a heavy initial investment just to gain the ability to make it upgradeable. As a result the first one you make will not be too much better than a disposable but will cost a bit more. If you misjudged the future you could lose out and end up with something that can not be upgraded. Generally requires a full tower case to be safe as there is no telling how much space you will need for parts in the future.
Super System: This is in essence a supercomputer. It is built to be over clocked and to preform at levels required for applications that will not exist for years to come. These systems can still be used even a decade after there initial construction. They are also the most expensive and there is a limited number of ways to build them. Construction is very complex and requires not only precise market timing but also a grand amount of knowledge when it comes to construction. Built out of sometimes questionable technology it may sometimes become instable as a result of being pushed too far. If you want a computer that will not be invented for years to come now this is the system for you!
Pros: Unsurpassed speed, record breaking performance. It is like having a prototype super car that also flies. It takes on todays most demanding software as if it was playing pong. It plays HL3 as it's screen saver, just to rofl at the lower systems that are blowing their nuts off just trying to load it. Lucky it's parts can be salvaged years down the road to lower costs of future projects. When it is too old it's parts can generally be put into a few other computers to provide more basic functionality. You will no longer be needing to turn on the heat in the winter! Some cooling output ducts may provide good marshmallow roasting locations, and or hot coffee/coco
Cons: If built at the wrong time they will completely fail. It will cost insane amounts of money and is very very complex to build. Experimental cooling systems can kill: you, the computer, your cat, your neighbors cat, your son, the sun and in rare cases destabilize the fabric of time space. They usually require huge amounts of power and thus monthly cost. They are big, very big and a large part of the budget goes just to cool them down. They are also heavy and require multiple people to move. Some systems may require a special suite to handle in case of a liquid N2 spill. If you do not know what you are doing you may blow out your chips. Usually require that the humidity of the room does not exceed X value, thus requiring a dehumidifier. Sometimes require timers to start, so you will want to engage the boot sequence at least 10-15min before you need to use it, or leave it running(if you can afford it). Although they can cool themselves you and your structure may not.(hope you have a good ac and proper ventilation) They also can be loud, if you do not enjoy the decks of aircraft carriers then this is a con, if you do than please visualize this statement in the pro section. The computer might be able to time travel, this is a con because in the future there is a good chance that this computer could be banned for blowing up the earth/killing polar bears. If you travel back finding an AC outlet with enough current may become challenging and you will be hard pressed to leave.

I Want a pc that can make beautiful chicks that can do what I want them to do, Weird sciencE!
IBIS NOOB
You could build a much better computer for less money. Zero has a good point about waiting. But if you wanna upgrade now get a 790i mb like dual has w/ ddr3 mem (and get at least 4 if ur gonna run vista). The Nvidia 9800 GTX is a pretty good and moderately priced graphics card.
And yea buy at newegg. It's the shit.
