I'm gonna buy a desktop at the store.
I wanna pay less than 2.5K and I want a high end computer. I don't know how to build a computer myself.
What kind of build should I buy?
>>51948233
Build it yourself you stupid faggot

>>51948390
Do. Not. Buy. From. CANADA COMPUTERS.
Seriously.
Find it anywhere else.
BUILD IT YOURSELF
If you really need help, I'd be willing to help over Skype or a preferred platform with avoip.
Spam /sqt/ until they give you a decent build for 2.4k, pay someone 100 quid to put it together.
>>51948390
Actually scratch what I said.
Buy the same parts for $1800 (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gQx3Lk), pay someone $100 to build it, save $600.
>thinks any prebuilt from any store, even with a "discount" can be a good deal
Have fun wasting your money retard, make sure you post which one you bought so we can laugh at you later.
>>51948233

Get this OP, really good and for only $1,000 with the discount code.
In b4 >Reddit, I just use it to find good deals.
>>51948581
About $300 cheaper than assembling it yourself via pcpartpicker too.
Check our LanHAUS, they do custom builds.
They're a local business around me but they'll ship to anywhere in the US.
>>51948233
buying prebuilds is fine if you know what you are buying. make sure you don't get scammed on the PSU and SSD, the two most common parts that PC builders like to skimp on. Also make sure the graphics card isn't some budget one like a 750ti slapped in there to save money.
>>51948549
Price: CDN$ 2,436.75
>>51948652
It doesnt seem to come with a cooler I think. It doesnt mention one
and I dont know what case it is.
It doesnt specify what ssd it is. Or what models they are and what company made them
Efficient heat dissipation
The chassis design of the ASUS G11 incorporates up to eight air vents to facilitate air intake and heat dissipation. Large 5mm side vents are dedicated to cooling the CPU, while the front air intakes draws air into the chassis for effective thermal management so G11 stays cool even in the heat of battle.
>>51948673
thats what I mean, they never mention SSD's and shit like that because they always go with some cheap budget one like Intenso or some chink shit.
It almost definetely comes with all the needed coolers though, it certainly has a heatsink and probably has a back vent and a vent or two on top if its a gaming PC.
>>51948481
>>51948481
wow thank you
The reason I also didn't want to build it myself was. I'm afraid the parts would come damaged or...it would get stolen
But I guess I'll do it this way
as long as there are no objections
>>51948455
>>51948233
please take anyone here's advice and just build it yourself. will always be a better deal and more power.
>>51948705
nah, it's a better idea to get it prebuilt just to avoid shit >>51948652 mentions. you get to pick what PSU and other "smaller" stuff like that.
>>51948673
Most pre-builts that you find from stores are garbage. Some smaller companies build custom computers, and most will do it for fairly cheap.
Anon mentioned LanHAUS, there's a few others but they generally will do custom builds based around your budget.
>>51948720
sorry - I mean it's a better idea to NOT get it prebuilt.
>>51948581
>>51948581

Do they ship to Canada?

That's what warranty is for, or shipping protection for a few bucks extra. Nothing to worry about.

I'm thinking of selling my older computer and picking this up desu...so cheap...
Why the fuck are you spending $2.5k on a computer? Has it suddenly become 2002 again?
>>51948791
If you ask, they'll probably ship to Canada. It's a small business and the guy who runs it is pretty reasonable.
Not, OP. But is it really that easy to build yourself? I need retard-proof easy, not /g/ easy.
I'm afraid that I'll break something, shock something with static, put too much paste, not have the right tools, etc.
Are there any prebuilt assembly kits, like IKEA, but a computer? Something with all the parts and tools and an instruction book?
>>51948419
Why?
>>51948814
/v/tards think "the more money i throw at it, the better it will perform"
>>51948822
i would take some time and watch various instructional videos on youtube until you feel familiar with what to do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roFb3TNePIg
>>51948814
Actually, scratch that, 2002 is way too late to be spending that much on a computer. 1997 maybe?
>>51948822
Literally just get >>51948581 for now. You are not going to find a better deal even building it yourself senpai.
>>51948826
Well, there's some truth to that.
But IT'S 2015! Prices have dropped like fuck and the sweet spot is like $750 before you start hitting rapidly diminishing returns.
>>51948822 If you, or ANYONE ELSE wants, you can take up my offer here. >>51948455
It's like super fucking easy...
Also, please do what >>51948841 recommends.

>>51948865
So are you, Anon.
>>51948233
Just build it yourself using YouTube as a resource...
Not that hard.
/g/ anons
accept that some guys are unmanly non engineers
they are afraid and confused, they dont trust themselves and they fear of all that can be could be, they might grow up without any paternal figure in their life, they never were introduced to any tools or even seen anyone actually physicly working on something
you dont need to save everybody and explain stuff to them painfully while they keep whining
just tell them to look up a build and post it, no need to be pushy that they need to stop being disgrace to gender and realize how trivial this shit is... some people need to make lot of money cause they cant do stuff themselves, its natural

I found the canadian variant
but I don't think they let you customize
is this good enough?
>>51948967
That has no dedicated graphics card. So no.
>>51948967
Dumb retard, just get the HP Envy, you aren't going to find a better deal than that without getting fucked. Even people who normally build their own PCs are buying it because it is such a good deal.
>>51948995
The problem is that they're in Canada.
>>51948967
The problem is with stores and listings from big retailers is that they hardly have any in-depth info into what you're buying.
My best suggestion is to just call LanHAUS yourself and get a quote from him. They'll go through all the components select and adjust them around your budget, sending you a full parts list for comparison before building.
I never trust store-bought computers. Hell, places like BestBuy don't even list what type of PSU is in their systems.
Up until now, I'd say build it yourself but I've gotten several units off this company for myself and some friends, the guy who runs the business has always done us right.
>>51948995
The envy750se is not avaliable on the canadian website
>>51948967
no, just get the other one that is customizable. they do ship to canada, i dont know why you keep trying to find "the canadian version"
>>51948967
not good anon
shit gpu GTX 745
and no ssd
while blowing money on cpu
for $1000 canadian dorus
you should keep looking
but if you are not planning on playing games, just having a workstation its ok maybe
you might want to check your local PC shops, tell them to send you their offer in price range $1000-2000
then you consult with /g/ and /r/buildapc
>>51949013
Link?
>>51949012
>>51949015
They can't get it shipped there? Like use a US proxy to order it and then ship it there?

I used to think it would be too hard to build my pc and I did it anyway it is actually a lot easier than buying it premade and the catch is I only spent 2700 with peripherals and everything

with budget 2.5K
he could buy cheapest components to build just low end facebook machine and get the feel of it
then buy components for real
and it still would bring him better performance and quality than buying prebuild kek
>>51948233
Dude. Just use any of the trillion computer parts recommendations and buy them for a place where they are willing to assemble them for you and ship it that way.
>>51948909
when I put mine together I was sweating bullets
then it got late into the night and it didn't start
fixed the issues and it finally started
I never slept so well as that night
Building is shockingly simple OP
This vid takes you step by step, if you're seriously John Snow level and know nothing:
https://youtu.be/d_56kyib-Ls
>>51948909
How often do static kills really happen though? I see it mentioned in every pc build video. Don't use rugs, use static gloves or leashes, don't use the vacuum cleaner to clean it and so on. I've been doing all of the above for years and never had an issue. The only precaution I take is touching a metal part of the case before touching anything else.
>>51949087
Honestly it would anything premade they try to fuck you as much as they can because they know that you wouldn't even know their target market is people with no technological bone in their body look at companies like Alienware every pleb see's them as oh shit they make the best computers but we know otherwise
>>51949167
I work in PC shop for 3+ years, some building and techsupport, some sysadmin work
never had static killed anything, but I do touch the nearby radiator before every build and the boss looked strange at me at first that its just horse shit
but then again, we are in eastern europe, I can imagine that local weather plays role as well... anyway when people in EU order stuff from the internet, they can return it without reason for 14 days, customer protection.. plus rma would cover it anyway. They cant prove it died shocked during assembly and not during packing or something
anyway, internet too the static precaution and run with it.. so /g/ annons who build 2 PCs in their life but do follow components reviews will grab for it like some huge thing...
>>51949167
It's just a precaution that you must take in order to prevent it from happening if you follow them it makes you almost 90% safe for that reason alone static kills are minimal because almost nobody building a computer is stupid to not do any research except for that 10% hell 5% of people who are too incompotent
>>51949210
>but then again, we are in eastern europe, I can imagine that local weather plays role as well
I heard that really dry weather can play a part. I'm also from EE (Romania) so it never really gets that way here.
>>51948909
> static electricity
> cause for concern
I had a rasp pi, posted it here sitting on top of an anti-static electricity bag while on the carpet and three people posted that I should worry about static electricity, the bag was upside down, and I shouldn't have it on the carpet in the first place.
Are people actually that worried about static electricity? Why? Out of all the computers I've dealt with, I haven't had an issue with static electricity. When I felt that there was a possibility of static electricity, I'd place my hand on the PSU and make contact with another metal object. I never understood the need for anti-static wrist band and thought it was unnecessary.
Am I alone?
If you go into canada computers, you pick the parts, and we build it for 75$. 95$ if you add a third party cooler. Comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty for all hardware related problems.
I don't know why he said not to come here, but I would love to hear any reasons why we are bad.
AMA
>>51949299
It's just an over-abundance of caution
(that's not necessarily a bad thing)
You always want to take at least minimal measures (touching a large-ish metal object to ground yourself) simply because your body can honestly build up PLENTY of charge to damage the relatively sensitive parts in a computer
>>51949405
>$20 extra for mounting a cooler that's different than the stock cooler you would be mounting anyway
>$20 for literally no extra work
>>51949454
I didn't make the prices, the company did.
Also, third party coolers have a backplate, and it's the same cost for closed loop liquid coolers.

>>51948233
>I don't know how to build a computer myself.
Every part (if needed) comes with a manual. Stick to the manual, and don't force circle forms into square forms and you're good to go.

Fear of fucking something up while building a computer. For the same price of a i3 rig I can get a bitching i5 one in my part of the world for example but prebuilts offer people a security that they won't botch anything (since everything was handled by a poo2loo that did this millions of times for 0.2 rupees an hour)

The reason static doesn't kill shit is because it's not 1986 anymore and computer hardware isn't as unreliable as shit.
Is that a man?
>>51949405
I calculated it would cost you to build my computer for 2466 dollars plus tax.
Buying it online would cost
