ok so heres the deal. its time to build/get a new pc. ive been doing a lot of looking and price shopping. it seems that ibuypower or cyberpower is the way to go. i was wondering what is the better company? its looking like i can get a core 2 duo with ddr3 for under 600 from either of the companies. or can i find deals on parts and build it myself? this will be my first high end machine.

is ddr3 really worth the extra money? im looking at either the e8400 or an athlon 64 x2 6000+ or maybe the 7850. just looking for some guidance before i make a mistake. thanks in advance. have a good one!

DDR3 is not worth the money on a C2D or C2Q platform.

You can most likely get the same machine for around the same price and build it yourself, probably even cheaper. We need more details on the systems you are looking at before we can help you out though, just knowing that it has DDR3 and a core 2 duo is not enough, we need exact specs.

ill get the exact specs sometime later today. ok so one more question before i get exact specs. would you go for a e8400 with 2gb of ddr3 or a 6000+ with 4gb of ddr2 800 or 1066? thanks again for the help. have a good one!
