Hey all,
I'm trying to put together a new Office PC. I'm more then willing to build one, but I was asked to get a quote for a prebuilt instead. Below is an outline of what I had in mind. The build needs to include at least a dual monitor setup with resolutions at 1920x1080. The monitors alone will suck up at least a 1/3 of the price for the new system. So again, I would prefer to build a machine knowing that I'll prob get better overall performance vs a prebuilt Dell. Dell overall over charges for things like HDD's and monitors. I saw the poll going for the office PC and I'm just not impressed with the quality. I strongly prefer not to use AMD processors and I don't like Radeon cards (They didn't offer Nvidia and the only other option was onboard Intel HD 2000).
Looking at the list below picking those options, approx how much would I save from a prebuilt (sorry for bloated copy/paste)?
Thanks.
