flowerpot Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 I guess, but there is a sense of pride and achievement building your own PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 KD, that PC ain't all that. Better can be had for the money. Besides, spec doesn't say everything -corners will be cut. No doubt the first cutback will be made on the PSU -a damn shame because this is the single most important component in the whole system! Next up will be the memory, which is probabbly the second most important component. If you have quality memory and a quality PSU, your system should be rock solid. A decent motherboard will allow for a bit of overclocking (even newbies can push their FSB up at least 10% safely and gain a bit of extra grunt). Plus you only pick what's right for you.
