If I were to buy an Inspiron 570 from best buy:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+Inspiron+I570-7034PBK+Desktop+%26+20%22+LCD+Monitor+Package/9999133000050027.p?id=pcmprd133000050027&skuId=9999133000050027 Would this fir a 5770 easily? Dell just says that it has a PCIe x16 slot, but I dont know if it is at the bottom/top, or if anything will get in the way. I know that best buy links dont last very long, but its under Bestbuy>Computers>Desktops>Desktop Packages>Dell Inspiron I570-7034PBK + 20 inch monitor Its the PBK not the NBK. Yeah, yeah, I know that its not a DSO rig, but I cant afford one ATM, and I an needing a computer ASAP. |

Ugh, no. Dell will try to bend you over and screw you at every opportunity, during the buying process and after. They lack any customer service, you'll never get them to make good on a warranty, and they bundle ridiculous amounts of useless extras with the systems to jack up the price that much more.
If you don't need a monitor DS can beat the socks off that for a similar price. Ticket #416751, Price: $879 Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Cooler Master Elite 310 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Black Edition (2.8GHz) (6 Core) (6 MB Cache) AM3 Socket Motherboard: ASUS M4A785T-M/CSM (AMD 785G Chipsets) (SATA6 and USB 2.0) (Socket AM3) System Memory: 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 500W Digital Storm Certified Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA) 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: - No Thanks, I will be installing my own video card(s) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: Standard Factory Heat-sink and Fan H20 Tube Color:- Not Applicable, I do not have a FrostChill or Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System Selected Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: - No Thanks Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks Boost Processor: FREE: Stage 1: Overclock the processor between 3.3GHz to 3.9GHz (Cooling Upgrade Recommended) Boost Video Card: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Restore Kit: Digital Storm Specialized Recovery System (DVD Image Based) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Benchmarking: - No Thanks Install/Test Game: FREE: Hot-selling game with a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 or above graphics card Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Large) Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: FREE PROMO: 4 Year Limited Warranty with Life-Time Customer Support (4 Year Labor & 2 Year Parts) AMD Phenom II 6-core, kind of comparable to an Intel 930 in some ways. If that's still too expensive for you then the best route would probably be to build something cheap yourself. We can help you select parts if you need. |

I mean, I will be getting a DSO rig soon for my moms house. At my dads house, I just need a computer to do basic computing/internet surfing/gaming. It will be games like CSS, or CS 1.6. Not anything like crysis.
BTW, I wont be dealing with Dell directly, best buy will be, and I will contact best buy. And, dell isnt as bad as people say, because i have had a good experience with them. Will the ATI 4200 Onboard be sufficient for a 1600x1200 monitor doing basic gaming, ETC? Or should i upgrade to the 5770? Also, in my school we are having a LAN Party in CS 1.6, on these 5 years old computers using onboard graphics, an they work fine. Lastly, I dont play at the maxxed out graphics settings, because i have slightly bad eyesight, so some settings dont even matter. What does matter is FPS, so less setting=more fps. |
