Well, you can get windows 10 for like $30 from kinguin, 1TB hard drive costs $40-$50 ($5-$10 more than a 500gb) which most builds should have and the main reason that people use pcpartpicker is so that they can pricematch it with a store that is the closest to them and don't actually ship them individually. The only time shipping is involved is when it is free shipping which most stores will do if the order is like above $25-$100. |
Kinguin is... shady. I'd rather not take a chance on my copy of Windows being shut down after a month. 1TB is acceptable. A lot of people try to get away with 320 GB just to shave an extra $15-$20 off the total price. I'm not sure what kind of policy your local store has, but there are a ton of asterisks in my local Frys' price match policy. http://www.frys.com/utm_src/page006.jsp?utm_source=lowpriceguarantee&utm_medium=vanityurl&utm_campaign=lowpriceguaranteeoffline Basically they'll price match, but only certain sellers, and only if they get to count the cost of shipping etc.
[Tangent]Storage is a huge deal to me. Even my regular PS4 HardDrive is full from game updates, and I have a massive backlog. Honestly I need to go out and get a 1TB HDD for it just to store the updates. That is with all the games on the disk in the case. If I went all digital I would prefer a massive harddrive just to make sure I never had to delete anything and reinstall it. But I know most people aren't like me, so I think 1TB is just fine. Especially for a starter PC build. [/Tangent]
