(Uhg... I have to retype out my request after I found out you cannot put links into Posts.. /cry).

My gaming PC of the last 5 years recently took a dump on me. I've been toying around with a budget of around 2,500 - 3,000. I live in the Bay Area and am hoping that I can finance with DSO. I just graduated College and am starting a new Career, I need this computer to last me a bit of time so I can pay down my absurdly usurious Student Loans. 

For the most part, I am playing MMO's, some FPS and RPG's... but mostly at the moment am looking forward to playing the majority of my games on PC as MMO's and the occasional FPS/RPG. ( I own each current generation console system and tend to get the RPG/FPS for these now).  I don't know if I am going absurdly out of my budget and going too far, the mechanics of building a PC have never been my forte... so any input is greatly appreciated! I will post the build I've toyed with at the end.. any criticism or an entirely different build is fine. Any input again, is greatly appreciated.

My budget includes a monitor and I've seen the Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23" Monitor with LED recommended here on the forums.

Here is the current spec I've toyed with, please let me know what you think!

all you needed was to post the ticket number, so what is that? or tell me how much that config cost you?

DS dose not finance.

I will have to rebuild it quickly to get a ticket, I've cleared my browser since then and had only saved a text version of the data.

I called DSO today, and since I live in the local area, they do have financing options available. Although, I know for a fact that it is only for local area customers.

I will respond shortly with a ticket number.

Well, apparently I'm quite the newb.  I cannot find for certain what is the ticket number. I get as far as the checkout screen and am not given a direct link to it... so I'm going to post what I think it is?  309773  ... if not, I am very sorry for making you read through that. 

The build as I posted, ran at 2,999...

Again, I appreciate the input.

that is not it, when click on save/email a new page loads with all the specs at the bottom, at the top is the ticket number, anyways I just wanted the cost.

Alex said in anther post that they no longer do financing for local customers, he also said the rate is very high.

Oh right, we did have a local contact for payment plans for local customers, but, at this time, that isn't being offered, plus, any credit card would most likely have a better interest rate anyways.


as for your build, this cost less and gives you twice the gpu power:

@Pilof,

 
First off, thank you for choosing Digital Storm. The best route for payment plans is honestly a credit card, but, if you would like to try local financing with us, I'm not sure what we exactly offer at thsi time, but, you could contact us and inquire about it.
