Yes, but for that price, you're being bent over and taken to the woodshed.

main reason why I like this is cause of the 4 year warantey but if any has a suggestion to something similar for cheaper please let me know cause I dont know much about computers.

Looks good, what motherboard are you gone get? and are you gone put the graphic cards in crossfire?

But the CPU is kinda a overkill you be fine whit a 3ghz dual core

I suppose my point is you're paying nearly $2500 for what is around $1250 of hardware, some of it downright atrocious (power supply & motherboard are usually horrible in large-corporation computers). If a 4-year service plan is worth $1250 to you.. go for it since it'll 5-box WoW. Custom built computers have warranties on each part as well, and if something breaks after a warranty is up, that extra $1250 goes a long way.

I always build my own machines, and I'm now up to nearly 150 machines built for friends, family, and clients. Although my career as a software engineer keeps me from wanting to make a business out of it, there are plenty of guys like me who build machiens for a living.

What I'm saying is that you'll get a lot more power from your buck on a gaming computer by having someone (person or shop) build you one that will be faster and cost less. If you need service later, you've got a $1000-1250 pool of extra cash to work with.

There are plenty of small (& good) shops that have better computers for lower prices than the "high-end" Dell/whoever models.

yeah I agree with you there, problem is we live in a tiny mountain town where the closest computer shop is 4+ hours away. Dont know of anyone who really knows about computer where I live and with 3 kids a road trip for a computer does not sound fun if you know what I mean.

any sites to place that make good computers for you at a low rate?

and I looked at tons of sites only thing I found was small places that ship you parts not the whole shabang.

Don't give bad advice. The difference for *5* boxing between just swapping my 3.4GHz dual core E6600 to a *3.0GHz* Q6600 quad core was definitely not "overkill." The gains were substantial moving to more cores at a slower speed. For someone playing a single instance of a non-multithreaded game, yes, a higher core clock is better. But when you're using your computer in a way that all cores can be taken advantage of, get more cores if you don't have to sacrifice too much clock speed.

yeah everything I have read says quad core can run more aps at once, why I went with quad so I did a little homework but some stuff I dont know like better deals/can it run 5 at top graphics or min, stuff like that.

also do you think the 8g memorey will help with 5 instances running or could I go with say 4g and save a few bucks.

Sorry for the dumb questions and thanks.
