(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! Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Black OPS Assassin Edition Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz (Unlocked CPU for Extreme Overclocking) (Quad Core) Motherboard: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme (Intel P67 Chipset) (New & Improved B3 Revision Without SATA 3G Issue) System Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Dominator DHX (High-Performance) Power Supply: 800W Corsair GS (Dual SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (64MB Cache) (Model: Black Edition) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB (Includes PhysX) (Overclocked EVGA Edition) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 3: FrostChill Cooling System: CPU Only H20 Tube Color: Blue Tubing with High-Performance Fluid (UV Lighting Reactive) Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Stage 1: Overclock CPU 4.0GHz to 4.4GHz Graphics Boost: FREE: Yes, Overclock the video card(s) as much as possible with complete stability Memory Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory OS Boost: FREE: Yes, Disable and tweak all of the non-crucial services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Advanced Recovery Kit (40GB Hard Drive Partition of Image With OS & Drivers) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Pre-Install Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty |

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. Edited by DST4ME - 15 Oct 2011 at 1:04am |

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.

@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.
