| 872414 | 2010-04-06 11:56:00 | The Phenom 9550 is old, they don't even specify what graphics card (And 256MB is pretty small now) They also don't specify PSU brand or anything else really, safe bet they're using the cheapest ones they can find. I wouldn't buy it, it looks overpriced and probably unreliable junk. |

| 872417 | 2010-04-08 06:50:00 | So, is this a ready made system (it doesnt sound like a built one if these are on it). I wouldnt bother with any of these BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 - 60 Days Free Trial Microsoft Office 2007 Professional - 60 Day Trial Adobe Acrobat Reader & Nero Burning software included Looks like the GPU is HD. Altho if you want to use it, you may have to buy a SPDIF cable (just make sure the mobo has a SPDIF connection, it probably does) |

| 872420 | 2010-04-08 06:59:00 | what the hell does playtech approved power supply mean lol the cheapest they have that doesnt get rma'd often? | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 872421 | 2010-04-08 07:00:00 | Umm the 2nd one. You would need Windows 7 for USB 3, and you would have to wait for SP1 to come out before it supports USB 3. (Not too sure if Vista supports USB 3 yet either). Cyabro may help you out, well he maybe the only person up there who can. It'd probably be cheaper building one that buying one with all the trial crap on it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 872422 | 2010-04-08 07:05:00 | ill try build one with ascent, hope its not too hard tho. what other good shops are there? i got till next wednesday to decide what to get. oh woops i didnt know they didnt build it for you. i have no idea how to do that so ill leave it to the experts. and i have windows 7. so you mean until i have sp1 i cant use the usb drive? thats a bit bs dont you think? | nerd (109) | ||
| 872423 | 2010-04-08 07:28:00 | what the hell does playtech approved power supply mean lol the cheapest they have that doesnt get rma'd often? Add to that the playtech approved Motherboard -- How nice ;) As for the USB - it should still work perfectly fine with the current USB devices, just means its USB3 Ready / capable when it gets here. What the hell is PlayTech Rewind System Recovery DVD - normally $99 !! DONT include that -- the only CD's /DVD's you need are the windows OS DVD - which you say you have, and driver cd/dvd for the components, motherboard , graphic card etc. Which SHOULD come with the component Eg: Motherboard or Graphic Card. |
