Depending on the sales promotion their currently running you can get a decent pc for relatively a cheap price.

The only problem is that when I often change or upgrade certain components the prices jump dramatically. More then usual I often spend about $1200 for a pc rather then the $700 price they advertise. Its the little stuff that you want that brings up the price.

i find that the integrated mother boards aren't as good...perfer non intergrated mother boards as if the integrated video controller goes you'll have to replace the entire mb.

just a thought.
I agree with what he just said.. integrated motherboards are a PITA.. they're nice if you're building a basic workstation, but if you want a good machine at home for GFX, games, what-not, avoid integrated.

That's how big corporate sellers like Dell, Compaq, and others do, they integrate as much as they can onto the motherboard... that is, sound, video, and etc. Cheap...

What you pay for is what you get.
