$1303 - quick booting, and if ordered in march you get an extra SSD drive with 30gb for your games and also a network card with its own CPU to get faster / less CPU intensive networking ... its a freebie! and gives a few %

hardware is $1199 + $104 for windows 7 home premium, if you got a license and can install it your self you can skip this ...

God, I would rather you pay me to build you a computer, then ship it to your house. I could probably build you something better for about 3/4 of the price.

I know everyone says build your own but seriously I would screw it up, nor do I have the patience.

Also this place give you a warrenty as well.

Screwing it up would have been an easily thing to do in the past, but it's almost idiot proof now.

if he doesnt have someone computer savy at his hands, warranty matters alot ... what good does 25% off the price if its not working in the end cause something went wrong [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can get a warranty for each individual computer part, for much cheaper than a warranty on the entire system. Rarely do you see more than 1 part failing at once.

There HAS to be someone you know, that knows how to put legos together, because it's the same difficulty.

I've been told that ATI cards have finally been stepping up to NVIDIA cards, but i've always been a fan of NVIDIA. Same goes with processors. I'm an AMD guy and I will always prefer it over Intel.
