Thinking about getting a desktop. I have an account with Dell, so planning on getting it from there. Here the specs on the one I’m looking at, just want some other opinions.
XPS 8300
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 processor(8MB Cache, 3.4GHz)
12GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMs
Dell Wireless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse
Dell ST2420L 24"W Full HD Monitor, 24.0 VIS, VGA Cable supplied only
AMD Radeon™ HD 6670 1GB DDR5

2 USB 3.0 ports
Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability
Similar specs to my Sager laptop that was about same price. Mines a better vid card, bigger hdd, more ram… Idk Im not a Dell fan… But if you have to go through them, I did have an Alienware before this that I did not have one problem with for 5 years straight. So I am a lot of help. But yes solid specs for the price.
The Alienware is too expensive so that’s a no go. I feel like this computer is a pretty good price considering it includes a decent size HD, LED monitor
How much more do they charge you for a BluRay drive? Thats the only thing I kinda wish I had ordered on it. And I need a beast lappy cause all I do is game. Seriously.
Well it will def photo edit quick, I can vouch for that i7 processor. You better get CounterStrike, or Battlefield 3, or Team Fortress 2 (That ones free) :lol
:rofl Maybe Battlefield 3, I know a few other people with it on PC
I wanna buy this right now so bad, I’m scared though… lol. EVERYtime I make a purchase like this, I see it the next day half price or a new version comes out :lol
Yeah but thats always the case. They had a $100 rebate on the pc I bought a week later… and my tv I bought last year for 600 is now 200 new… its just how it goes lol
Ahh idk why i just assumed laptop… guess i’ve been dealing with a lot of fucktards lately looking to spend a grand plus on laptops and saying they can just upgrade it down the road :facepalm
When ti comes to desktops, I guess I just prefer built ones, just because its generally more cost effective for what you get, but its a good machine
Thing you need to remember about the size of the drive and price etc is that hard drives are catching a premium now and its starting to reflect in PC prices a bit
The only thing I’d bump up is the video card to the 560ti… but if you dont do any heavy gaming i woudlent worry about it the 6870 is a great card
Its a great PC no doubt, would deff be a few bucks cheaper to build yourself, but if you have an account and like just having to worry about small payments then go for it! its deff not a bad deal
I don’t think I’d really use it anyways…
