I was going to buy this pc http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9156478&type=product&id=1218038551741 and upgrade the video card to a 4850 or 4870 I have a 500watt antec to use with it. The cost would be about 800$ or so for this set up.
But I keep reading that people build there pc’s for less then what you pay for an off the shelf one.
If I were to build something similar to this how much would it cost me? I was looking at mobo’s and cpu but I have no idea what is good or bad.
I do know I would like a quad-core Intel or amd. this pc will be used for some light game play I use my xbox360 for most games but I would also like to be able to play games like spore or other titles not available for consoles. If I do decide to build my pc it must be stable plug n play would be best I would hate to be stuck with a mobo trying to update bios or something.
Any suggestions would be great on what my best option might be.
