Hey guys, after what happened yesterday with Chazore's RAM and the $550 PC thread of zero from a couple weeks ago, I have a little idea for a project.
Say that we have 3 categories, up to 600, 800 and 1,000 $/€, or £400, 550 and 700. Why don't we design the best PCs we can within those budgets? And once we're done, we can make a thread with them as our recommended builds to those that want to get a gaming PC this Christmas. What do you think?
The rules/objectives and budgets are open to discussion, of course.
Sounds like an idea, though for the GBP part can we up the last build to say £800?, since those seem to be the near top end sweet spots if not £1000 (I've spend practically near 1k on my rig already).
Also as you say this, Linus came out with an 8core build that does seem to cut some corners for it's price ratio:
As I said, budget and goals are open for discussion, so I don't really have a problem raising the max to £800.
I'll check the video.
Please excuse my bad English.
