| Thanks for all the advice, guys. I ended up going with Dell since the only place I could find locally that builds PCs wanted to charge me more money for a less powerful computer. I got something pretty decent for just a tad over $1k. I don't do enough PC gaming anymore to justify the price of a higher-end system.
Now I need monitor advice! I'd like to get a new monitor, too, but I'm not sure what to get. Are TN panel monitors as crappy as I've heard they are? Because it seems like, if you want a higher-quality panel, it's quite a big jump in price. |
