anyone else have a computer like this? is it any good?

[MrTingTing]

Its good for office work but not for gaming =/ Any words on how much you can spend?

[LoveMachine]

prob 500, me and my twin are each getting something around that price

[Useless]

500, will get a pretty bad computer. If your twin is able to combine the money into one super computer then you have a good deal going.

A decent gaming comp will run at least 700.

haha, i lol'd my bro won't share. thanks anyway, though. i'll look around.

[MrTingTing]

You can get a decent gaming comp for 500$ if you can keep your monitor, dvd/cd drives and the computercase. You'd need to built it together by yourself though.

500$ will get you a good motherboard, atleast 4Gbs of gaming-ram, a strong dualcore cpu and a good gfx card.

It's not the best machine but what do you expect for 500.


Unless your going to build your pc you won't get anything better.

But you'll never find a fully pre-built gaming pc for 500.

That pretty much sums it up. Those companies either charge alot for building the comp together or they count on the stupidy of their customers.
