    I have saved up about $6,200 and I really want a computer that will be able to run the upcoming games as well. Once again, I want to know if it is worth all the money.


    DON'T SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON A PC...

    Use around $1500 and you could build a very fast one, I think Eyerock said that, he is right. The rest of the money you could save it and later on when you have more money, buy a nice car ; ), that way you won't worry about payments...

    Just focus in getting a very nice Processor, Ram and Video Card that's all, which you can easily find with a lot less than $1500...


    Or maybe use it for college tuition... Hmmm.. there's a thought


    There's a thought.....

    Pen you need a laptop for just school and you have $6200 to spend? Try this:
    Build a Dream Machine Dekstop PC like Don listed for under $3000, and then go buy a cheap $1000 laptop from bestbuy or something. That still leaves you $2000 to spend on your first car/many more games/... whatever you want.

    But Seriously, If you got that much money saved up and your only how old? 15 or 16 right?...I'd save as much of it as possible...
    When your young and you have a lot of disposable income don't spend all...save it...you'll gonna need as much money as posible when you go on to post secondary school.

    Re: Should I buy this?

    Building a PC is not that hard but If you are intimidated about figuring out how to build your own beast or you just don't want to then I recommend http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/

    There have been times where I have totaled up parts costs for similar PCs that they are selling and it was actually more to buy parts separately and build it myself. I know 3 people that have used them and all 3 were great experiences. One was my best friend who used them on my recommendation and he has been very satisfied. I haven't seen better prices on custom-built PCs and their standard warranty is 3 years plus lifetime tech support. Their overall rating at resellerratings.com is respectable (especially compared to Dell's 3.94/10 rating!).
