I just don't want to go through the trouble of building it all and everything. Would you think someone would build it for me for a cheap amount? I really don't want to screw something up that could damage the computer.

Jack and jones both built their own computers, if they can do it you can do it. There are sooo many guides on the internet its not hard.

I might do that, then. I have a lot to think about. Thanks for the help Butler.

In the long run it will be better because you'll understand how a pc works and know what to do when it needs to be fixed, also later on in life you can upgrade it easier.

Yeah, very true. I have also watched some videos on building one. It looks very easy to do.Less money, some education, and a computer that will last a while seems pretty good to me.

Staying at the hospital for a few more days... Just found out I have internal bleeding. Yay me. Lol.

@zipper63

Looks like they couldn't have made it any worse for you. You slid out just before the only dry patch on the track. That sucks man, highsides are the worst. Hope you're alright.

@motoxlova#1

Just heal up and don't worry about anything other than that. Internal bleeding is bad, but you will be fine and you'll have all kinds of stories to tell your grandchildren.

I just built this one online:

Operating System Genuine Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit w/ SP1

I don't think I will build one, though. Yeah it's a lower price, but without this:

Quality Assurance Individual custom testing for complete system stability, signed by the system builder and QA inspector
Documentation Owner's Manual and Accessory Pack
Installation None
Warranty** 1 Yr Standard Parts & Labor Ltd Warranty, Lifetime Regular Business Hour Support, 1 Yr Depot Repair
Upgrade Plan Lifetime Upgrade Plan allows you to return your system for maintenance, upgrades, and tuning

I dont think its really worth it. All of that^^ comes with the computer. Thats why the price is higher. And I can also upgrade the computer whenever I want.

Anyone see anything that I can get that will help MXS run better on this computer? I just want this to last a while. Also the one I have built costs $1379 without shipping. You can go here to see all the options that I can get.

Thanks guys.

Found this on newegg this morning. Looks pretty good to me, except you'll need a graphics card (I think that's it, but I may have missed something). I think the GTX460's run about 200 bucks.

Is that almost the same as the one I posted up there? And this can run MXS well, correct?

Sorry for so many questions. I just want to have a good PC that will last me a long time.

Looks like it is pretty similar. Except you have to put it together yourself, and it does not come with a graphics card or Operating System. You'll have to ask one of the other nerds on this forum how well this will run MXS, but I'm fairly certain you would experience no issues.

[Mbutler183]

It should run MXS no problem, grab this graphics card too and you'll be rockin - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130610

Those specs are quite similar to mine except i have 9gb ram and a smaller hd and an ATI 5870
I can run most tracks max settings with about 5-10 riders

[MX196]

Well for not that much more I can get this graphics card: 1GB ATI® Radeon™HD 5850 GDDR5

You guys think that would be overkill? Hopefully this will run Dirt 2 easily aswell. I'm also looking to start buying a lot more games for my PC if I get this. The games are about $20 less then the 360 games. To me, thats a pretty good reason.

I hope one I get this I won't be a noob at this stuff. I appreciate your guys help a bunch.

Well 196, I think you will be able to run Dirt 2... and Crysis 2...

[Jester#132]

Dirt2 isn't as heavy as it seems, I can run it on my old pc, and it has pretty shitty specs.
