I was talking an entire system for $700... You have nothing near a $300 system. Furthermore, your setup isn't a "good" gaming computer at all. It's a computer that will run games at their lowest settings, if nothing else is running.


^The above was ordered friday, so the prices are current.
Let's just say $2600 for all 3 computers.

Substract $440 for office. (most people don't need to buy office for their home.)

$2600 - $400 = $2160. $2160/3 = $720 per computer.

How it beats yours:
1: It has an operating system, xp pro, yours doesn't.
2: It has 4-core processor, each of which is "faster" than your single.
3: It has more memory, which is probably double the speed or more.
4: 250gb vs 80gb, and I'm sure this hard drive is much faster.
5: The video card... if my research is correct, you're running a 256mb agp8x setup... This is one is a 256mb pci-x16, which is superior to agp. Same manufacturer. I think it's safe saying this $35 video card is better than yours.


Anything else?
