    External DVD Drive

    My sister is getting a net book for christmas. She is going to need to load programs and what not, so I've decided to get her an external DVD drive as netbooks don't have one in them. I've found this one. They all look pretty much the same. Here is the list on the site I want to buy from . I...

    Nvidia GT 320

    So, my family will be buying a new computer. The one I think were going with comes with the NVidia GT 320. I would like some feedback on this card. What is it comparable too? I know its pretty low end, but I would like a little more specifics then that. Its hard to find reviews, because its an...

    This is true. Like I said earlier, I don't see my self upgrading the RAM any time soon. I think this is the one! My parents would rather not ordering. After browsing the BestBuy flyer (again) I've come across this acer model. i7 870 4gb RAM GT 320 :( That graphic card is pretty crappy isn't it?

    That i5 build looks great :D The only thing I don't like about it is, once again, the two available memory slots. I could probably live with this though :p

    Question. Would the hexacore help or hurt general usage. The idea of six cores grabbed me at first. I mean look at all those cores! But after doing a little reading, it seems like hexacores are more suited for video related work. The computer would be used to light usage and mild gaming. I can't...

    Yah, I assumed as much. But its not going to blow up or anything and fry the components? Assuming I don't draw too much power.

    I'm not sure whats going on with that. Because in the name is 512MB. But further down in the description and in the specs its listed as 1GB. So I'm not really sure whats going on. The two available memory slots was kind of a let down, but I don't see my self upgrading beyond 4gb any time...

    Yah, they're open to stuff. It was just that was the best I could find. Thanks for pointing that out. That one looks good. The 5770 isn't great, but its better then a 5570. Any feedback on that one?

    Any by quality I meant the level of parts you can get for your money versus those that come in a pre-built of equal cost.

    Sharpie, its not that bad. I just think most people here realize the kind of quality you can get by building it your self. I wouldn't blame them for recommending that path. Good advice Blain. I have some money saved up, so I figure I can put it in to upgrading this computer. New power supply...

    Help me with a build?

    Because I am 16, I live with my family and I will be using the computer for gaming. I probably should have mentioned that.

    Help me with a build?

    Never mind. They have said a definite no.

    I tried asking about building, but they do not want to build it. I'm also a little worried about building it. I know everything show plug in nicely but $1000 bucks is a lot to have on your kitchen table. I understand most of the stuff in it will be low end crap, but what else can I do?

    Yes I did. It was going to be $800, with 2GB less ram, a 6850. Other then that basically the same stuff. I couldn't convince the rest of the family to go with building it. I feel bad cause you did a lot of work on that build and I didn't even use it. So we're going prebuilt and this was the best...
