Actually there is a way to get really powerful PC really cheap. When PCs brick there is plenty of parts to salvage, so if you gamble a bit you can get a working CPU from mobo with fried north bridge, working new mobo with something like cracked ethernet chip (put old PCIe card instead), glitchy gtx 580 which you can try cooking in oven and cheap memsticks from someone who upgraded. If you are lucky that PC will work for reasonable amount of time for a fraction of new PC cost. Gamespot just got it completely wrong though.
