[jmcneill29]

I am trying to find a great computer, in which i can upgrade later in the date.....great power supply......kick ass video card (so I can play any game such as SWTOR or even anything to make it great graphics)......great processor.....over 5 GB of RAM...runs windows 7....etc...

I am tired of buying piss poor knock off's and thinking i can upgrade them later and cannot......

Or at least help me see if i can get a better video card for my current computer...........

If you want a computer you can upgrade and be great now, you'd probably be better off building one yourself.

give yourself a budget and look over guides on the internet, then after you selected some things you can ask recommendations on it.

Your not going to get any of that with a prebuilt computer. They're all junky. The only way to get what you want is to build it yourself.

Id love to, but i am very computer illiterate.....I know how to install a game...thats about it.

I would not know the first thing how to build a computer....I would start with a cool computer case after that all ?'s

you can give this a read

http://lifehacker.com/5151369/the-first+timers-guide-to-building-a-computer-from-scratch

and you can get everything off newegg if you live in canada or the US

start with what CPU you'd want and go from there is the best choice, the case is mostly cosmetic so its better to get the guts sorted out before everything.

You could still build a pretty good computer for that price range and it will still be better than a prebuilt. I just built my dad a pretty good office computer for around 850 dollars (really 750 plus 100 for the Windows 7 software).
