New Computer! :D

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 17, 2009, 12:04 AM




Well, I don't have it yet, but it should be arriving sometime this week...I think >.>

After searching and searching, I finally opted to get a desktop instead of a laptop. I changed my mind due to the fact that if I want to game on it, it should be able to withstand anything and even if I get a gaming laptop, it still won't be good enough compared to a desktop. I think next year I'll get a cheap basic laptop for my school needs. No rush to get both right now...plus my funds are low @_@

I didn't bother getting Alienware, Dell XPS, or any other major gaming systems cause those are far too overpriced. Well...some...not all. I did get a gaming system, but it's an HP brand, so I wouldn't say it's the ultimate gaming system. I just really liked the price for the specs it had. I compared it to other desktops and with taxes and shipping included, I felt that I'd be overpaying and going over my budget so I just stuck with the HP model.

It's not a custom-built...it's actually a ready-to-order setup sold by Best Buy. I've heard good and bad things about it, but I'll be the judge of what I experience. Plus I hear a lot about Best Buy's crappy customer service, so I'm not sure how that might fair with me. I just hope nothing bad goes wrong considering the fact that I have the worst of luck with computers lately =_=

Here are the specs for the computer I bought:

(Oh and it's only the CPU Tower...no monitor included unfortunately)

~HP - Pavilion Elite Desktop with Intel® Core™ i7 Processor
~Model: e9290f
~Processor Speed: 2.66GHz
~Cache Memory: 1MB on die Level 2; 8MB shared on die Level 3
~System Memory (RAM): 9GB
~Type of Memory (RAM): DDR3 SDRAM
~Hard Drive Type: SATA (7200 rpm)
~Hard Drive Size: 1TB
~Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
~Video Memory: 1.8GB (dedicated)
~Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
~Power Supply Unit: 460 watts

Hmm...did I miss anything? So, with tax and shipping (I can't believe they charge for this), it ended up being a total of $1,400. Yea...it's a lot, but I'm hoping it's well-worth the price. If anything happens, I'll return it or have Best Buy fix it I guess. My only issue is the power supply cause I've heard that anything below 500 can't really handle most demanding games. But I really only plan on playing Sims 3 so I don't know how bad it could be. If anything, it can be replaced (maybe with a corsair model?)

I figure I'll buy a monitor when Thanksgiving sales pop up cause I think Best Buy is going to sell an Acer monitor for $80 and it's down from $160, so if that's not a bargain, I don't know what is lol.

Alright, my ranting ends here :] Thanks for everyone's help from my last journal!

And I'll try to post some art soon. It's just been crazy at school since finals are coming up in a few weeks.

Oh...and my sister unexpectedly bought a new dog =_= And of course I've been the one to babysit him so he's attached himself to me D: Lol I'll get more into that in another journal xD
