very nice except for the memory, if you going for a high spec pc like that at least get a 3GB if not more, i was going to get one like that, but its like £1500, how much is all of that? i just got a laptop for £500 and i get 100+ FR on it on CS:S, my old pc got 35- :/

[Dull Freedom 40]

this is at 2,599$ canadian right now and for the memory, if i needed more couldnt i just go buy an extra external Harddrive l8ter on? i was planning on using my computer atm to store all my songs and photo's.

[IsaT 1]

[Ignite 21]

Well i think it is a pretty good system just that i think if you where going to get a system like this that cost more than $2K, then i recommend that you get a Vista Ultimate, and atleast 4GB of RAM... to make it worth your money.

 

But no offense my system here only cost $1000 and it is alot cooler (with AIR) and faster than the XPS suited up w/ Water cooling...

 

Just saying.... so just tell you my advise..

Memory and Hdd space are two completely different things.

[Dull Freedom 40]

Alright i updated the specs, this more like it?

[Protoman 56]

Seems pretty descent. My cousin has the same exact comp, your just has better specs. I would say your fine, but some people crave for more ram and other essentials regarding gaming computers. :)

Yea,but you have to understand...Memory and space are often times confused with one another,.

I hope you didn't order this yet.

 

I say:

DON'T BUY THAT COMPUTER!

 

Buy all the parts seperately on newegg or something like that, and put it together yourself.

 

Here are my reasons:

1. Dell sucks

2. Custom is cheaper

3. Dell sucks

4. Dell sucks

 

 

Also, don't get Vista. It is way over rated. The only good reason for Vista is DX10, which people are figuring out how to use on XP anyways. If you really don't want XP, wait for the next OS...

That's exactly what I did and I did save lots of money. Building your own computer is fun (at least for me anyways)

Sounds great, don't corrupt the system with Vista. I beg you to get Windows XP!

[Jezzy 0]

Looks good... but you have a very small hard drive at least for me it is

i suppose its a better deal?

 

I'd say so. There's even a Blu-Ray drive in that list...

[Dull Freedom 40]

ide have to add the 24 inch monitor in that for another 400$ but still that's insane....

 

But i dont think they ship to Canada do they? i went to make an account and there was no North America destination :D

CRAP! I knew I forgot something.

 

But I think they do ship to Canada... Brb, I'm gonna go check. I know they ship to USA, my friend bought all his computer parts from newegg, and I've bought a few parts. I live in California btw.

 

EDIT:

Ok, sorry. I found this...

 

Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.
