winz Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Imho, weak graphic card, and I don't like the 450Watt power source eather. edit: another thing I don't like is that it has four memory sticks, instead of two, making additional memory upgrade problematic.

rockyalexander Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well, this is what I'm running right now, with the video card updated to a 1GB HD5770, and the power supply upgraded to a 600 watt http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/gateway-fx7026/4507-3118_7-32976302.html?tag=mncolBtm;rnav. I'm looking for a good upgrade for under $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHawthorne Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Any recommendations? Yes, build your own. Seriously... You can get a lot better by DIY builds. There are whole forums out there that do nothing but cater to helping people do their builds and even help you pick out all the individual parts from the most cost effective places. Looking at the computer specs for your link. The CPU is ok, the memory amount is ok, the graphic card is horrid, the hard drive size is ok, the power supply is horrid.

Duke Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 For the price it's a decent buy but I'm not sure about the motherboard in that box. As others have stated it's lacking in the power supply and vid card depts too. In my experience, motherboards are something you just should not skimp on ... I always buy Asus and I've never been unhappy with them.
