That's a rediculous price. And AMD is no different than intel. They're simply a rival manufacturer with a different name and different colors. Their products are just as good.

And Dells and other manufactured PCs come with a whole bunch of pre-installed crap that clogs up your computer.

One more thing, anti-virus programs suck, and they completely slow down even the most powerful computers I use. And the one time I had a "virus", Norton kept whining about it, and couldn't remove it, so I had to go and remove it by myself. Anti-Virus programs are expensive pieces of ****.

A basic keyboard costs about $5.00, depending on the place. That's all you're going to get with a Dell keyboard, on average. You can get a good optical mouse for not much more. And a Creative speaker system with crystal clear quality will cost you about $99.

External storage is definitely something to avoid, unless you have multiple computers you're transfering the data to and from and don't need a server. Stick with slapping HDDs in your system.

I have my dream computer, it can alt+tab comfortably between programs in less than one second, which is much better than my old computer, which took around two minutes to alt+tab between a game and the desktop.

I also wouldn't change my computer, just for a little better parts, I could alt+tab a couple milliseconds faster or play my games with a couple more FPS. That is all. I'm pretty confident my computer can run anything you throw at it.

I built my computer. It's very simple, and there are 1000s of online guides on how to do the hard stuff. I was kind of afraid I would do something wrong, and fry my computer in a few days, but it's pretty simple and my computer is working great 2 months later.

Yah it always seems hard before you actually do it. In reality it really is very easy, just don't be a dumbass and do some research prior and use proper handling. Anyone without proper experience and being a dumbass can do it.

A dream computer of EVERYONE is a computer that can do whatever you want

As for customizing laptops, a lot of companies have laptops that you can customize online. I customized my Vaio and it works awesome.

I understand the hate of AMD-- AMD is a 3rd person company that doesn't have anything better than Intel-- look at Pentium D processors.. 3 ghz for a meer $100...

You really should just assemble that computer yourself... It would take like 300-500 off the price depending how you do it...

AMD is NOT as good as intel-- the sempron is the equivelent of Intel Celeron.. Athlon is the same as Pentium III, and the 64x is not very good in comparison to Intel core 2 duo, core 2 extreme and core 2 quad...
Also, AMD is a 3rd person company, just basically copies intel's processors and sells them for more.

And more!

By the way, I built my computer too and it ended up to be a huge disappointment to me. It was too easy, if everyone wasn't afraid of breaking every single piece from just touching it, they would all build their own.

Uh a 3rd person company? They don't copy Intel you moron. I doubt you can even build a computer.

I'm pretty sure high end servers can have ridiculous amounts of RAM like that.

Well, Yeah, I can only imagine they'd need that much. But just for a computer to use at youur house, 32 is Such overkill. XD
