| 1243415 | 2011-11-14 04:48:00 | Hello, I posted a topic earlier with specs to a $4000 PC that I was intending on having built by Computer Lounge. However, I can't afford that any more and I have dropped my price range to $2500. They sent me the following quote for $2499 www.imgsrc.com Is the CPU OK or is it worth trying to get an i7? Also, would this support 5.1 surround sound? I just didn't want to bother the email support people with my questions. What does everyone think? Thanks, Caleb |

| 1243417 | 2011-11-14 05:19:00 | Thanks for the reply. Yea, I thought about Googling it and then I had to have dinner, haha. So, what do you think of the build as a whole? Will the CPU be powerful enough |

| 1243418 | 2011-11-14 05:30:00 | Depends what youre going to do with it. If its for normal usage, anything will do. I wouldn't spend 2.5K or 4K on a computer system tho (If I was building it myself) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1243419 | 2011-11-14 05:43:00 | I agree with Speedy, you could get a decent enough PC for a lot cheaper than that..... suppose it depends on what you are going to use it for. | springa886 (10558) | ||
| 1243420 | 2011-11-14 05:53:00 | I would use it for gaming (such as WoW, The Sims and Skyrim) as well as school work, Microsoft Office, heavy internet browsing and some photoshop. I am a big multitasker and I would like a computer that can handle multiple tasks at once well. Thanks for the help |

| 1243421 | 2011-11-14 06:04:00 | Are you building this yourself? I have a friend who is getting a similar pc for sub 2k. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1243422 | 2011-11-14 06:06:00 | I'm having it built by computerlounge.co.nz | Caleb Watson (16566) | ||
| 1243423 | 2011-11-14 06:27:00 | Wow. They aren't even charging you anything to build it. I'm impressed (assuming that quote includes build cost). I still feel as if you could get the same or equivalent parts cheaper elsewhere but then they can't really build it for you (for free at least). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1243424 | 2011-11-14 06:59:00 | I believe they are charging to put it together, its all included in the 2500 | Caleb Watson (16566) | ||
