A good pc for 1,100

[lokodezine]

Hi

I am wondering what kind of pc can I get built for 1,100 ??

A pretty good one?

I wouldnt need a mouse, keyboard, or monitor, just the case and evertyhing inside it with a DVD player and CD Burner

Also is there any good pcs out there that you guys would recommend that are around that price range?

Thanks

Yup, you could build a very nice computer for $1,100.

Build your own. A home built computer is almost always better than a comparable store bought name brand computer.

What will you be using the computer for mostly?

AMD or Intel?

ahh the sound of a beginner. I remember only about a month or two ago when i was starting out. All i can tell you is don't get to excited and try to do everything really fast. Also listen to people like cricket, hal9000, FLG, panamared, and there are many others, because they know their stuff and always give sound advice. Also take into consideration that you'll probably want to upgrade so buy components with that in mind. Anyway sorry there is no technical advice in there but in my signature you can see my specs and i built that for under 750 so as cricket said you can build a VERY NICE system for 1,100. Have fun and learn a lot becuase i know i did.

Agree with the samurai rabbit!
So what are your intentions and do you have any parts in mind ?

wow...

not needing a monitor is a big pricecut, therefore you would be able to build a REALLY nice computer

I built mine for about $1,300 (w/o the monitor)

I built the one listed below for a little less than $1,100 last December, seems everything has gone down in price
since then ,especially DVD burners.
Like you I had a monitor, but got a new keyboard,mouse.

like Cricket said its important what you r using the computer 4. if you r going to be doing tons af gamin video editing downloading alot of movies ect. 1,100 mite not b enough (of course i may be rong about this as i am no expert) but if you want to be doing mostly stuff like word prossecing and internet browsing and stuff like that which doesnt need very much memory, very good graphics and it doesnt need to be very fast, then 1,100 will be plenty.

The nice thing with computer built by yourself is that you get exactly what you want. The biggest advantage is probably the case, and if you like to be ostentacious (I'm saying this in a general way, please don't take it provacativrly) with your build, this is a great way to do so.
Also, it is very easy to get things very inexpensive - when things go on sale, that is an oppotunity to sieze . Your build might be as nice as what you may get out of a 1700 USD Dell if you buy your components at the right time. These people here at PCmech make building fun and a learning experience. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks PCMech. Thanks PCMech for all you've given me so far .

Hope that helps,
kram

I just recently built a PC for a co-worker for around that price range. It's a very nice system. Check out this link for the parts that I used. It took me 1 hr. to assemble the parts and install the OS, drivers, and AV.

SOrry I havent responded,m been realy busy lately...

I am mainly going to be using the pc for web deisignng and some gaming and playing and watching movies...

I am afraid in a way to build my own pc because I have never done it before and the one I am using now I had built and it is pretty bad, DVD player never worked, would dtop playing every 15 minutes or so...

So if you had to recommend a computer to buy from a company what owuld you recommend if anythign ?

Or do you think I can make a comp myself?

If you aren't going to build one yourself, then see if one of your local computer shops will custom build one for you.

If you really want a pre-built, the only manufacturer I would recommend is DELL. But you could always go to your local computer shop and have them custom build one for you. A custom built computer is a good option because you get to pick and choose the parts from off the shelf and the computer won't be proprietary like the name brand computers...so upgrading later would be an option.

If you built one before, you can always build one again. I think the problem wasn't how you built it, but rather the choice of parts. If you're going to build your own, you want to get the best quality parts you can afford. That means going with name brand parts that have a good reputation with other builders...that's the key to building a really good performing computer.
