I'm looking to have get a new desktop in the near future, and really don't want to make the long trip to Seoul. Where in Busan can I get a reasonably priced computer (preferably somewhere where they can speak english).

I'd like on that can play modern games like Dragon Age on high (not neccesarily the highest) settings. Any tips on specs I should be looking for? I have a Radeon HD card I'd like to get installed in the new computer, so I'd like a place where they won't have problems installing it themselves, and not charging me for some preinstalled crappy graphics card.

Go to Myeongnyun-dong on line 1. Cross the bridge towards Lotte but walk down the stairs on your right before you get to the shopping center. Walk past the Outback and turn right (cross the street) at the light. Go in the doors in front of you. Hopefully you will find what you need.

There are two computer malls (definitely smaller scale than yongsan) that I know of. One is in Gaya (Green line, stop 221) across the street from HomePlus. The other is at Myeongnyun-dong (Red Line, stop 224) across the street from the subway station. Prices will be slightly higher than in Seoul but they have all the hardware to hook you up with a hefty new rig.

I'll check those out, thanks for the info. Any idea what kind of specs I should be aiming for (considering I already have the graphics card)? I'd prefer to keep it around the 1m won mark. I'm not very familiar with modern computer specs and prices.
