BUILD A PC DONT BUY IT, if you build one & something goes wrong eg the Graphics card stops working you dont have to wait for an engineer to come out, take the whole PC away & wait weeks for them to fix it, you can remove it , RMA it & have a new card in a week or so.You still have the PC at home & if it has onboard graphics or you have an old or spare card you can still use it. You can Mod the PC add watercooling etc without voiding the warranty for the whole machine.

Home built FTW

You also get a much better, higher spec machine for less money than an off the shelf machine.

You are right in most cases, but when I bought this PC (over a year and a half ago), I found that it was cheaper to buy this OEM PC. But my next desktop will definitely be a build.

GTX 260 Core 216 SSC is as fast as the GTX 280 but cheaper, great choice. Be sure to check your power supply, it takes up a lot of power.

[Oakkiller77]

Ya, I will need to upgrade my power supply, it is only 350 watts.

[h2oextremepcs]

no its not

8600 GT Sucks a 8800 GT will be a lot better in games and stuff. I f you have the extra go for the 8800GTS or the most expensive GTX 280 the are both good.

[Oakkiller77]

Ya, I agree. I am looking into the GTX 260 Core 216. It is not up to par with the 280, but very close and for about half the price.
