    Should link the comp so we can see if you're getting a fair price. I don't know about your question though.

    Pretty much. It'll screw you over if you somehow don't get the money in time so be sure you'll actually be getting paid. Also, would help if you linked the specs so we can let you know if it's even worth it/pure curiosity (90% curiosity).
    New and shiny compppppp!

    You can build something much cheaper, especially with a cheaper tower (that tower is not worth the money at all especially for what's inside). for about 600-700 bucks.

    Also, don't get a 32 bit OS. If you're getting 16gb and a 32 bit OS, you'll only be able to use 4 gigs max.

    check how much you are being charged for Win8 - if you are buying Win7 now, you can upgrade to W8 for only 15$, so if they charge you more they are ripping you off.

    Also, I'd like to throw in: Don't get 16GB of RAM. You'll probably NEEEEEVER use that much. Get 8 and cut down on the cost a bit. Six is golden, eight is great, sixteen is overkill. You can save some money on dropping the sound card as well. I'm pretty sure all half-way decent mobo's have on-board jacks for surround sound, and the on-board sound is really good. You can't tell much of a difference really.

    Are you buying this premade or part-by-part (guessing the latter)? If you are indeed doing it part-by-part, have you tried other sites to see if the cost is lower? I've never tried putting together a PC on e-Bay before. I usually stick to Newegg/Amazon.

    my plan is to add 3 monitors to the computer, the win 7 disk is 119.00 for the 64 bit and the reason i have a sound card is i have a 100.00 surround sound system...i can get all speakers to work but some reason i cant get the subwoofer to work so i thought mabe if i got a sound card i could get the woofer to work dunno X.X



    edit and this is a prebuilt computer that im making online before i have it shipped

    Ide make sure you can get the credit for the 6 month no interest thing. I have great credit with enough of it and I couldnt get approved.

    My family couldn't get approved for the payment plan through E-bay, so I would make sure you can even get approved first before getting set on a purchase.

    ya....im prolly just gonna have to wait for a few more paychecks and pay for it in full


    and does anyone know how to get the subwoofer to a cheap surround sound system to work on the computer? i prolly dont have the right cables but i could go buy it if i knew what was wrong =/
