Their CPUs probably don't have the computational power to handle it, lol.

well yeah, but i meant for like a retail machine.
oddly the build you put there is basically my current desktop. i got that $15 ECS, a $40 g530, an old case / psu i had laying around, and i bought a 80gb intel 320 for $70 somewhere (not super cheap, but well afraid of sandforce right now due to previous experiences). got a $30 GT 430 on amazon too with the $14 dvd rw from newegg last week to round it out. and $10 for 4gb of ddr3 on ebay
but yeah, for normal mom and pop at costco $500 would be fair anyway considering windows licenses, and they dont know how to build a computer and support etc. the A8-5500 by the way was $750 with a similar config but it came with a monitor
You're actually running the ghetto rocket?? LOL
It would really be served well with a 6870 or 7770. you can probably still return the gt430 to amazon for full refund.
Definitely get another stick of ram though. dual channel is really important for that desktop snappinessness.:thumbsup:
I probably wouldn't have a job if people figured out that lots of RAM doesn't do shit if you don't use it. We sell RAM like hotcakes.That will sell, because people are dumb, and dumb people think lots of ram makes it FAST!

step 1: buy 699$ HP
step 2: sell all items except CPU+M/B
step 3: Profit!
not gonna work...too expensive! and not even an unlocked CPU
I do have dual channel. Got 2 2gb sticks.
Ugh, not even a new southbridge.
I thought that was the reason they would delay until fall, so they can get in some PCIe v3.x love in...
I guess AMD really don't want mid to high-end customers.
Way to drop the ball again AMD!
BTW, I guess they test all their AMD GPUs on intel gear than can do PCIe v3 ?

That is insanely priced.
I must admit I would take that A10 over a G530. The sad thing is... it would be a tough decision....
really? because a 4.2Ghz trinity would beat the crap of a 2.4Ghz sandy...
Seems a bit expensive. I don't have a problem with HP systems (made by pegatron anyway) but $699 for that seems like a lot.
yeah damn. I would've thought that would include a 20" 1600x900 led. Dell is giving away those e2011h.
wtf, $700, that's way overpriced.
I agree with the other posters. Too expensive, especially if cant crossfire with new gen graphics cards.
Yes, they won't buy AMD since AMD don't offer it until late next year(!) ?Why bother with 3.0 when anyone wanting/needing 3.0 won't buy AMD?
While I do understand that trinity isn't highend per se, they got a huge hole in their roadmap for the mid to high end crowd.PCIe 3.0 is handled by the CPU on Trinity, not the chipset. So its the CPU that cant handle PCIe 3.0.
Trinity is also a value product, certainly not highend.
While I do understand that trinity isn't highend per se, they got a huge hole in their roadmap for the mid to high end crowd.
They still could make the chipset support PCIe 3, until the time the CPU is up to speed, at least that would have been a logical choice for people needing the bandwidth, instead of pushing everyone to intel yet again.
