1110180 2010-06-14 08:51:00 computer lounge are experienced, they will give you a good idea of what you can get for your money. GameJunkie (72)
1110181 2010-06-14 08:51:00 They are professionals, and unlike many others will not take you for a ride. They will configure the best system they can with your $3000 budget, trust me.

They consistently come as the number one computer shop in the enthusiast circle. When I came to the forum to ask if I could get a cheaper quote on the parts I wanted, they gave me $100 off the website price total and stepped my motherboard up (from P6T SE to P6T).

Mobo: $289.00 Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 P55 DDR3 LGA1156 SATA 6Gb/s & USB3.0 (x8/x8 Crossfire+SLI)

I assume you want a 24" LCD add another $310-450ish depending what u want.

Windows 7? add another $228 for 64bit Pro.


Should leave change for a nice gaming mouse and KB

All prices ish and obviously you could chop and change a bit.

1110184 2010-06-14 09:08:00 That sounds pretty good,would that be built,tested and shipped to Dunedin? sk69ersnz (13476)
1110185 2010-06-14 09:21:00 Should be close, my rough calc says it leaves about $200 for building and shipping, so def in the ball park. Battleneter2 (9361)
