System buyer's guide: PC under $1000

Posted on Friday, January 02 2009 @ 7:35 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
AnandTech published a new system buyer's guide, this time they focus on building a PC for less than $1,000. You can check it out over here.
In this guide we will be looking at three common categories of systems you can now buy for under $1000. This includes the Entry-level PC, which is the best value for a complete system costing around $500. The bar is then raised to the upper end of our budget price range with Budget PCs that feature the most bang for the buck closer to the $1000 price point. It was a bit of surprise to find you could build very capable AMD and Intel machines, complete with keyboard, mouse, operating system, video card, 4GB of memory, and 19" wide-screen monitor for less than $850, leaving room for a monitor or graphics upgrade while still remaining under $1000.
