I wouldn't buy a pre-built bro. I would post here for a build and let our folks design on for you to build yourself, or have built by NCIX for $50


/e Btw, for a $1000 bucks, you could build or have built, a much better PC. $1000 is hardly a budget PC.

Before you decide... try this:

Make a new topic and post this info...filled out.

Topic Title: Need a Desktop PC built
Description: Gaming

Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs):
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):



Then wait a few, as our folks come to build you a rig, that will beat the piss out of either of those. Keep in mind, that if you don't feel up to the task of building one yourself, NICXUS will build it for you. Or, NCIX in Canada :)

Not with NZ prices.

That's actually a bargain price for them.
