Can you build a really good computer for under $2000 dollars?

Question

either from some manufacturers custimization (Dell, HP, etc) or build it your self buying individual parts from new egg? Im talking like a really good processor (i have a source where i can get a intel Xeon quad core for $200) and 6 gig ram and a really good graphics card. or is my price to low? basically whats the best configuration i can get realistically for 2000 or under?

Answer 1

Yes, you could buy a really good computer between $1500 and $2000. Top Dollar would be between $4000 and $6000. If you people would get off the Intel kick and try an AMD processor you would save yourself money on the processor that could be used other places. Almost everyone that trys an AMD processor never uses an Intel again.

Try comparison configurators for both Intel and AMD gaming PCs here

Those to sites will give you an idea of what you can get for what you want to spend as well as a price comparison for identical PCs with different processors.

Answer 2

Yes, you can, but not with 6 GB of system RAM. Buy an E6700 processor, a Gigabyte DS-3 or 965P-S3, or an Asus P5B-E motherboard, 2 GB of PC6400 RAM, a GOOD power supply, and a video card that suits your needs. Including a single, large SATA hard drive, and a case, DVD-RW drive, etc, that would be less than $1500, unless you buy a $500 video card.

Answer 3

Hi. I agree with answer 1 except I would go for the best GPU and power supply you can afford. Makes gaming less dependent on the CPU. You also do not need 6GB of RAM in my opinion as well.

You can go to alienware.com where you can customise or buy a high performance laptop or computer.
