Why they have 6 gigs of ram is confusing, the rest of the system isn't all that good and would not come close to utilizing it, the video card sucks if you want performance in gaming. There is no mention of a motherboard so I will assume it's not all that great and most likely the case is cheap with little cooling.
It's very bare bones and you can get a similar pre-built system for less with ease.
If you live in Calgary stop by a Memoryexpress store, they usually have good built systems on special all the time or even better figure out what your needs are in a PC and have them go over the parts to build one for you.
P.S - I wouldn't buy a Dell under any circumstances  |
They said its an X58 (i think) motherboard. Its one of the only ones that can run the new type of chip.
What is so "bad" about the system? The motherboard and processor are supposedly really good. Hard drive suits my needs, and the ram is great. I already stated that I know the video card sucks, but again i don't care if i can run on high settings.
Is the price good for what it is?
In terms of the brand name, I have never had an issue with a dell, and a friend in the computer business told me dell is one of the best computers you can buy in terms of quality.
