That's where most people go to order what they want to build their own computers. Their one of the best online computer stores.

3000 bucks you can go with some fancy comp store have a chick magnet of a rig. OCsystem is ok but I believe that their products are not properly cooled. Voodoopc is awsome too.

F-DISK-Format-Reinstal DO DA!! DO DA!!

That will get you heck of a gaming rig. Are you building this yourself? Or having it built?

honestly i think i will have it built, just for the tech/customer support... abspc.com is supposed to be the best from what i hear, they are owned by newegg, i compared thier prices to others and they give the better deal from what i can tell, have any of you ever bought from them or know someone who has, would u suggest them or someone else ?

Personally, I would find a local, reputable, and independent computer store and talk to them. Chances are they'll get the parts at a good price and put it together for an extra $40. You'll get what you want, and if there are any hassles or questions it's WAY easier to deal with than ordering online.

If you have the cash, places like VooDoo (which is 4 blocks away from me), Falcon Northwest, and Alienware put together some fantastic machines and support won't be an issue. Unfortunately, that level of support costs extra dollars, but then again you get what you pay for. I would be wary of many of the smaller online outfits...procede with caution.

For a good, all-round machine (complete with a monitor) that will handle games and multimedia, expect to pay around $1500~$2000 Canadian. Best bang-for-the-buck is the smart way to go, IMHO.

Give me Convenience or Give me Death!
