Hello, uhm im new to this pc gaming stuff and i was going to buy a gaming laptop but people were telling me to buy a pc so i decided i am and im on a pretty tight budget around 1300-1400$ So i was wondering if the ode level 0 would be a good buy for a person pretty new to pc gaming. I know stuff about it like ram and the video card and cpu and stuff but i dont know everything.

I think that monitor has around 1600 x 1200 res so ya ode 0 would be good for that.

although I would check newegg and see if I can save a few bucks on monitor/keyboard/mouse

YOu should find the model of that monitor and see how much it is on newegg, keep in mind you will have to pay extra for shipping for the monitor too here.

thats the thing, I'm not even sure, since they don't post the model number here, but if it is that one you are saving a few more dollars right there.

as for being a member for free shipping, I don't think so but opening an account is free, so its not big deal either way.

I guess it could be anyone of these

I got mine with crate and my crate looked like they ran over it a few times, so the crate was messed up, but the pc wasn't touched.

I say its upto you, but I do agree that unless you got lc system I would not even bother with it.
