New PC - Sydney Stores

[feiticeira]

hya all,
not much of a PC gamer any more, but the old workhorse is a bit old to be playing any new games at any res higher than 640x480! plus with Fallout 3 looming around the corner, I'm keen to invest in a new system.

I was looking on ebay, and there are some sweet looking Quadcore gaming systems w/good video card (like nvidia 8600GT) or and 4GB RAM for around $1200.

is that a reasonable price to pay (in general terms) to get a gaming system that will last me a couple of years?

Also, can any sydney siders recommend any good ma and pa chinese stores where i can get a custom built system as per the above specs and save a bit of cash? or are the ebay prices looking about right.

I used to be very up to date with the hardware/games 'scene' but lost touch in recent years due to the dismal selection of games avail (I'm an RPG'er, and the last decent PC game i played was Oblivion back in '06) so some inside word from the folks in the know would be appreciated.

thx
F

cheers phil,
drop me a pm, with what your roughly after
ill do you up a quick quote.
i provide a 12 month parts warranty / 24 months labour warranty.
You'll save a fair bit over "ebay systems", alot of them use older parts that have been sitting around for ages.
quite a few members have bought custom systems from me and theyve all been more than happy

Ill put up some nice specs for you, latter tonight.
