As most of the CoH group knows, I've been looking about for a new computer for awhile. I'm nary the best shop-arounder and I'd thin polling our collective where would turn up some good suggestions. Some things to keep in mind: I would be more in the line for Desktops than laptops, and I don't need a do-it-all machine. My current lappy can manage everything I need it to except running newer games with out boiling over. From my perusing the various sites I've been pointed to, some general idea of where I'm going for would be Intel core i7, NVidia GTX 200's, and around 6-9GB RAM. Example of what specs I've been looking at, though not necessarily just what I'm looking for.
From Dell, which I've had plenty of good products from before, their gaming line (not Ailenware, mind) totals around $1770, which is near the top of my spendyness. Looking around Newegg and CNet, I've found comparable specs from Cyberpower, iBuy, and Asus at around $1100-1300. The only thing that gives me pause there is I've never heard anything of those manufacturers and am a bit wary. So, squabble away with some suggestions, perhaps?
