With a monitor that's about 1000 dollars I think. You could also downgrade some things if it's too much.

You can build the PC part of it totally fine, for under $800 dollars.

However the Bluray and 'amazing' monitor, will cost you $500~600 more...

Get yourself a sub-'amazing' monitor and you can scratch it for $200~300 more...

lmfao dude what. An awesome monitor + BD drive will run him around 300.

Go with what DS says, I think. I stayed away from AMD because I'm dumb and don't like AMD, but their stuff is what the **** cheaper.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

Won't I need to buy Windows 7 also?

One thing, DS. I live In Canada and I;m guessing all your prices are american. That monitor is 229.99 on Tiger Direct.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

If you're a noob you can buy W7, or you can be cool like the rest of the internet and just download it.

The PC build I put up would give you pretty much everything you needed for media play. 25" monitor, blu-ray player, full HDMI support, and it's even remote controlled, so you can kick back on your bed or couch and control it from there.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

@ninjaKIWI

Yeah, yeah.

I wasn't aware he was looking at 19" monitors. My definition of an 'Amazing' monitor is something at least 24", which runs $250+.

If you're watching movies, you want a really high quality monitor, and big.

Also, prices have gone down a lot in the last 4 months, holy ****...

Alright, where did you get everything/site?


Btw, Zag, when I'm laying down watching movies or shows on my comp I'm laying like 2 feet away from my computer screen, so having a 20 inch screen is perfect.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

It's 189.99 on Newegg.

Converting to Canadian dollar is still $721.77, soooooooooo...7 extra bucks big woop.

I got my 24" monitor for 180, Zag.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

Comes with the package I assume.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

That one has a much better motherboard, and utilizes DDR3 memory, which is faster. It doesn't have a blu-ray player though, nor HDMI output so you'd need to buy separately. It's a tradeoff between power and media abilities really. You say you don't really game much, if at all, so I went with something that has a lower power consumption while still being able to be a powerhouse for what it's going to be used for.

If I were to choose, I'd go with your bundle, but I have different uses for computers which require that extra power, so it's really up to you.

Re: Can you buy an awesome desktop for 1000 bucks?

I already have an HDMI cable, but then the Blu Ray drive would be 70ish bucks.

So would the extra 1xx bucks be worth it to get my package and add a BR drive?
