Yea i've been thinking of buying one of the Xps computers
 


--------------------------

Good idea, the XPS are really powerfull and comes with a core 2 duo or better (i'm not sure)...but first do a budget between buy the XPS and buy all parts on newegg for example and with this you will take the best option price/performance....

Yea Here's a list my friend gave me he said it plays crysis with 100fps+ on high
$54.95 - Antec Three Hundred case
$82.99 - Intel C2D E6300
$79.99 - Gigabyte P43 mobo
$46.99 - 2x2gb G.Skill DDR2-800
$49.99 -PCP&C 420w PSU
$59.99 - 500w WD AAKS
$24.99 - LG DVD burner
$119.00 - XFX 4850
All for 500$
But the thing is I don't know how to build a computer D:
Im just looking for a computer that can play WoW And Cs:s on high with no lag
 


---------------------------------

Ok, now the question is: How much for the XPS?
 


--------------------------

Ok, buy the parts and build yourself... is better and the price too. If you not sure how build contac me or send me a message and i tell you how build...is really easy and no take more that 15 minutes...
