Seem like you know a lot about computers, I could do with some help with a broken laptop. Broke 15 days after warranty expired!!! Ughhhhhhhh. Anyway, it boots up, i have the option to start windows normally or to run setup repair (windows 7 OS). If I start normally I get the blue screen, after waiting for 5-10 mins. If I run setup repair, I get an error, would you like a photo of the error? It just happened, I got a blue screen, and then had these problems, was working fine.

IT'S A HP G62 (I know I know, HP's are terrible, but I only had a super small budget, and I got it from amazon for 250 GBP, as my Compaq broke after 4 years of well, just about every torture. I'd wack it if it froze, and stuff like that Loved the compq, was quicker than the HP G62, it runs an AMD dual core processor, overclocking at 2.1 GHz. Always has take years to start up, and quite frankly, if I didn't have to fix it and I could afford to get a newer one, I would. It always crashes, wifi doesn't always work, and every time I ring HP they say that it has to be completely broken 100% so that I can return it. Well, it did, but 15 days after the end of the warranty, and they wouldn't let me return it!!!!!!! I dont have the time to get all the components and stuff for a new computer, and I don't have the time to build my own, could you suggest a laptop with decent specs (i5, good screen, build quality, runs well for as little as you can find PLEAASSSEEEEE Much appreciated

I might be able to get one soon

Have all needed peripherals, but i would like advice what to upgrade to later on.

Budget: $300 USD (Bestbuy credit)+ $250 USD=$550 usd
I can go over by like 50 bucks if there is a large performance upgrade at stake.


I want: To be able to use Cryengine 3 Sandbox, handle modern games, at acceptable framerates.

Prefer Nvidia if possible (Cryengine 3 was built on it)

I need to get the best deals on bestbuy in-store or online using 300$ and the rest i will buy online (newegg) for cheaper

As far as I know all Best Buy stocks is low-end overpriced and usually outdated components. Not all Best Buys carry the same stuff, either, so I can't really help you here.

Alright, I'm getting ready to order my PC within 1 month, on new egg im at 1350, Witch is what i wanted to equal around 1400 or anything lower.
I've got the monitor keyboard and a gaming Headset,
I've been looking at AMD too see if if it was cheaper, But with all my parts, I still went around 1400.

This are my current parts. Wondering if i could improve anything that could save me money.

Grand Total: $1,298.85

Leave the fans for now since the Storm Scout already comes supplied with a couple that'll be more than enough to handle a single video card. Plus, they are really bad and I wouldn't trust them over a Noctua / Corsair / Cougar that are of quality.

Switch the MOBO over to the MSI Z77 G43 / ASRock Extreme4. Same price, better quality and features.

Socket LGA 1155 requires dual channel RAM, not a triple channel kit. Grab any 8GB dual channel, low profile, and low voltage kit you can find.

Thermal grease already comes with the Intel stock cooler, though, you should invest in a $20 Hyper 212.

Crap PSU. Grab a 750w OCZ ZT / the Rosewill HIVE series if you want the best bang for your buck.

We recommended you builds before but it's quite obvious you don't take our legitimate suggestions seriously. It's your loss.

You've recommended me things witch were awesome, But i needed extra Monitors Keyboards Mouse, Headsets, But were also out of price range,

So for that, I've made you a little something,

It's to dark here to take a picture, So i used a old picture and used paint, Enjoy
