| Chemical said: This computer looks very nice. Just recently I have ordered bunch of parts from newegg to build my own pc from scratch and in the end it will most likely cost me around 800$ but its stats are slightly better. Dont get me wrong the build you got here is very nice and is awesome reference material for anyone who wants to build a powerful gaming PC for cheap. Edit: In the future I would love to see some information on actually assembling the parts. This is mostly selfish because I will be assembling my computer in a couple of weeks so all information would be helpful. |
Building computers is fun and sometimes cheaper but because of mass purchasing, often the computer is cheaper than the sum of its parts.
We used to build all our workstations and I suppose I have built 200 or more myself. But we really stopped in part because the University got a good enough price contract out of Dell that it wasn't worth it. Also as we networked it was more desirable to have less variation.
I wouldn't discourage anyone but only if they will enjoy it and are prepared for some frustration. One suggestion is be careful about your choice in motherboards. There are some really cheesy ones made and sold separately that I don't think would get by any computer makers quality control.
