[aechermaster471]

I'm looking for a good gaming pc for cheap, NOT BUILDING MY OWN and I'm looking at this. I have a old monitor i will be using bit i am getting a 45 mous/keyboard packagw with this. As far as i can tell ironside has no shipping costs, qnd my max pay is around 800 dollars. Its for gaming likr games such as rust and ark http://ironsidecomputers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=309:51f33161793fcae7bb5761747489bfb2

The link you provide has a configuration with an AMD Athlon X4 840. That's not a very powerful processor by any means. It is slightly weaker than an Intel i3-6100 that costs $124 retail. I can't find a price for the X4 - not sure why, since it seems to be a relatively new processor from AMD. Used processors sell for $60.

That said, paying about $800 including shipping, a warranty, tech support, etc. seems about right.

Your only alternative is to walk into Best Buy or Micro Center (I hate Fry's) and see what they have to offer. Decline all offers for extended warranties or 'services" and customization by the retailer. You might save about $50-100 that way. Although the graphics card on the Ironside is pretty good, so that may sway you back to the ironside.
