Re: New desktop: build or buy?
You gotta build! It's the only way to go.
And for that kind of budget you could easily build a kick-as* machine.
My desktop runs an Intel Core 2 Duo with an nVidia 8500GT and 2GB of RAM all on an ASUS P5KSE motherboard and it all works wonderfully.
My media center runs an AMD PhenomII X3 710 with an nVidia 9600GT and 4GB of RAM on a DFI motherboard and again, all works without a hitch.
If you want full specs I can give those to you too. Or if you want some other part suggestions I'm up for that too.
FYI...I love designing and building computers!
