Keeping with the posters original post keeping in mind that I can only use $200. |

And of course you would buy from a shop that has a good reputation.-(Ascent,Computer Lounge,PlayTech,etc.) With pricespy you use it to compare prices from different shops and see what price they are selling at and get price matching done from a good shop. Yeah I know he said he has only $200 to spend but I was informing him what else he could get to make his computer better ie. more ram. For just $200 get a 3650 AGP graphics card but you still need ram as well for gaming so of course you would have to buy that as well and so you need more then $200 to make the computer better for gaming. As you can see in my post I had given options on two different graphics cards and 2 gig ddr400 ram which when added together in either options came to over $200. Just trying to give the poster options and what he/she could do to make the computer better or like I also posted before about what he/she would need for a new pc. After all Pressf1 is about helping people after all,right? I could have just posted get a 3650 AGP,but I did not I spent more of MY time and did a better post then that trying to help the poster and now this as well.:) |

| 765432 | 2009-04-16 22:12:00 | Nothing wrong with giving options I do it all the time, only problem is sometimes people expectations are higher than their budget.And if you have a limited budget you are limited to what you can purchase. Just got off the phone from this guy who rang to renew his Nod32 He purchased from me - then said he wanted a top of the line PC to replace his 4 year old current one, he was told by a "mate" that he should get a HD4870 X2 graphic card, with a i7 CPU, 4 GB RAM - and at least a 1000W PSU, Samsung T260 Monitor. I asked if he had a budget, so I could chop and change/offer different cases etc - he said at least $2000 , maybe could stretch to $2300 - he was rather disappointed that its not enough money. So I'm going around tomorrow with options relating to his budget. |
