I was looking at this on dell.com because they have a credit card you can apply for and my monthly payments would be about 30 bucks. Its a laptop so it has a monitor which is a huge plus and i believe I can plug my xbox into it with an hdmi cable?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will be moving out on my own here in about 1 1/2 - 2 months and I will be needing a computer, I won't have much money to invest in a computer but will have some saved up for it hopefully. I'm planning on applying for a Newegg CC if necessary, or a Dell CC if I have to go that route.
***Budget Range: For now i'm gonna stay at a solid 650$ (Would need to include a monitor) Maybe 700$ if its the only way to make it work.
***System Usage from Most to Least important: Gaming (Mostly things like Diablo 3 and WoW) Maybe some other games like BF3, MW3 ect. I have an xbox thats where most of my FPS and others go. I dont need a computer that will play BF3 on max High super resoultions just something that will play it and be playable.
Surfing the internet, Visual Studio 2010 (mostly just VB.NET)
***Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I will need one. It will also need to allow me to plug my xbox into it via an HDMI cable or I will need a graphics card that will let me do this (if even possible) a 20 inch monitor would work for me, I'd prefer bigger but what I can afford.
***Do you need to buy OS: No
***Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg (I can apply for credit there if needed and hopefully get it)
***Location: Pocatello, ID
***Parts Preference: None (AMD or Intel will work CPU)
***SLI or Crossfie: Unsure
***Additonal Comments: I'm on a tight budget and I dont do a ton of high end gaming mostly Diablo 3 and just WoW. I don't need a super highend computer, and will upgrade down the road more and more as I can. So upgradeability is a big deal if I can do it at a good budget.
I more than likely won't be OC'ing unless I need too.
