Right, so I'm looking to build a new computer soon, hopefully by the end of this summer. I don't upgrade very often so I'm going as all-out as I can, which explains the high price. To be honest though, $2,200 is still a lot cheaper than a Dell of equal specs.

What do y'all think?
Anyone? :unsure:
What currency are you using? Because if by any chance that's Canadian Dollars, I might just consider doing this instead of buy a pre-made rig...
Nope, it's U.S. dollars; but ca$2,319.98 still isn't a bad price for that machine. I looked at a similar model from Dell and it was almost $1,000 more.
Yeah, I was just looking at their site the other day, trying to pick out a desktop for university. Think I might just go do some searching at my local computer stores and see if I can get these parts instead.
All those parts on my list are from newegg.com.
Great site, great prices.
