my budget is around 1k(however the cheaper without sacrificing too much quality = the better), im looking for something that would preferably be ready to run sc2 on it so i wouldnt need to upgrate any parts anymore

any suggestions? would it be wise to wait after christmas to see if the prices go down?

edit: and im looking for a full desktop pc package(monitor + tower etc..)

Build your own if you have the know-how, its much cheaper and you wind up with a much much better computer.

Wait till after christmas, usually newer versions of parts come out and it drives prices down. More bang for buck.

Seriously its just so much better... you can get the standard package from dell or whatever, but it will never be as good as homebuilt.

acer

Dell will break down after a year (says a guy using a dell right now). This thing still works (good thing I bought a warranty), but if I had to do it again I would go with an acer.

any recommendations on a custom made cpu? i could buy a monitor seperatly afterwards
but i wanted to buy a desktop pc package because they usually come cheaper as opposed to buying a cpu + monitor seperatly

Geez... 5770 is cheap. My 4770 was about $100.

Don't be afraid of building your own computer mang.

it's like putting legos together... just read the manual and guides (the hackintosh thread in general is pretty good).

i5-750 or Phenom II 720 if you want to save a few bucks (not worth it)

everything else is overpriced.

and u should buy a good monitor, the best buy I ever made to my PC was a 22'' Samsung but not the cheap crappy one's, the 300euro one's. Its just too important to have a nice monitor

If you don't want to build it yourself, I think sites like CyberPowerPC and ibuypower generally have reasonably priced PCs.

Not going to be able to fit an i5 and a 5770 into $1000 if you want a decent monitor though...
