When I did my computer, newegg had the lowest prices on most everything. After adding it all up ,I bought it all from Newegg because of the multiple shipping from various stores. Actually ended up saving a little more than $40. Spent $1404. You really have to watch shipping and return policies.

You look for the best price from the deals "search engines" (shopbot.com, amazon and others), you find the best price and you pricematch it with the etailer that offers to match the price...(or you buy directly, from the guy that sells for cheap, it's good and bad, sometimes you'll pay more in shipping fees if you buy separate)..also, look for a place that doesn't charge sales taxes (or less of it) The stores that offer pricematching often have those requirements: -The item has to be in stock -The price has to be the price they would sell online to people not some sort of "cash price" -price doesn't take into account MAIL-IN rebates.... -The lower price has to be in the same currency, and the etailer located in the same country... Newegg.com is often competitive, same for microcenter, the rest I don't know cause I'm in Canada and we have different stores...Compusa and Tigerdirect I DISPISE..............overpricing bast4rdos!!!!!!

Send specs on the computer to insure it's upgradable and can run the games you want. He may be a friend but what is his computer knowledge? Send more info so people like Rickjames and wiz can help.

But I'm lucky I have a retail store abut 10 miles from me, so no shipping costs.
