| Phrancheyez said: Don't build.. 'It's so much cheaper! You can have a better computer!!' bullshit..and it'll take you forever, and cost you a lot of time and work, and things will go wrong. www.digitalstormonline.com Probably one of the best sites to get it from, their prices aren't that bad at all, and they've got options out the ass. Even their lowest-end performance PC is badass. They set up, overclock, and stress test your machine for 3 straight days before sending it to you. Much less of a headache.. But building it will be a little cheaper. |
...or you could build one yourself, spend the five minutes required to overclock it yourself, and save a few hundred bucks. Seriously, OCing these days is just a matter of slapping on an aftermarket cooler and tweaking a few settings in the BIOS.
And building a PC is barely more involving than putting together Legos. A basic build may take a first-time builder a couple of hours at most, and if things go wrong it's your fault for not following the (very basic) directions on your mobo/case documentation.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
