Desktop Purchasing Advice

by chris.beckett.346 / December 1, 2009 1:25 PM PST

Hey! So I've decided to buy a new desktop and have decided to do so from Costco (for the cheaper prices, the two yr warranty, and the fact I don't have the time to plan out and build my own system). I'm stuck between these two systems, which would you buy?

System 1 ($1299.99):

Intel

Quite the gap.

About Bluray. A common complaint or issue is when some one wants to connect a laptop or PC to HDTV (because it has the BR player.)

Skip the BR in the PC and get a PS3 or BR player so you won't experience the frustrations.

I would go for the first one. Your basically being charged for the blu-ray player and an hdmi output for which you simply get a dvi>Hdmi adapter. The money you save will buy a very good internal or external blu-ray burner and still have a couple of hundred $ left

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
