[sum41rcks1]

[sum41rcks1]

and this would be my Christmas present, so I dont wanna buld it myself only pick out the speciments on the website

What will this be used for? $1500 is plenty of money to work with...

[sum41rcks1]

what do you mean? I just want a computer that could run Crysis and UT3 good

I would say get an asus mobo (I have the P5E, it's kinda expensive cuz it came out a few months ago, you can get a cheaper one that's probably just as good), evga superclocked 8800gt, intel core 2 duo e6850 (i guess get quad if you want, kinda useless as of now and expensive), a good heatsink for your cpu (zalman 9500 is great), corsair ram (2gb is plenty).

This is pretty much my build right now, just built it a few weeks ago. I can run crysis on high 1680x1050 with an average 30fps, bioshock 1680x1050 max everything with constant 60fps, gears of war max 1680x1050 constant 60fps with lots of stuttering (which isn't uncommon, they really need to patch this).

edit:
oh, use newegg.com for the stuff. They have some great deals and the 2gb corsair ram is like $47 right now after MIR.

For building yourself:
newegg.com
zipzoomfly.com

For a "customized" computer (which I think is what you meant) you can look at alienware, dell, gateway, or a local computer geek (cheapest).

That's what I mean... you said you wanted a computer but you never said what it would be used for.

And guys, the guy wants to buy it from a vendor... not literally build it himself.

I'd look at a Dell XPS, I'd think that's your best bet.

You can get the $50 back from paypal, use coupon DT6030 - 30% off, customize, it and add a quad core processor, x-fi xtremegamer sound card and 2gbs of ram. You will need to buy a graphics card from zipzoomfly or newegg and install it yourself which is very easy.

Thats my suggestion using deals.

Thanks! I'm not happy with the fact that if you look closely you can see the borders of the pic, some reason I wasn't able to make it blend. Oh well.

As mentioned in the post above, it may be cheaper to buy and install your own video card. And if you do decide just to build the whole thing yourself Newegg is great! Tigerdirect can also have a great deal , but they have not had as many recently as they used to have.
