Do your own build. There are plenty of forums out there with experts who would be happy to help you, and you could make an infinitely better rig for much cheaper.

I know nothing about building computers, but I also need a new gaming rig and I've been considering doing a build for awhile now. From what I've read on tech forums, with the right guides and tools anyone with brains should be able to do it.

I was considering it... I rebuild my Mac... but I dunno about PC. Its very expensive and I just dont wanna fug up. I was looking an Alienware but its way overpriced... I'm thinking about buying Getaway... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gateway+-+Desktop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+/+8GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive/9974337.p?id=1218204534081&skuId=9974337

It's really not hard to build your own rig. I did it for the first time with my current computer and it's really easy with just a little guidance. Find a checklist of parts to make sure you get everything you need and also make sure your parts are compatible with each other. Make sure your power supply can handle the requirements of the parts you get as well. The hardest part is applying the thermal compound and keeping all the power wires from becoming a tangled mess.

You won't save money or build a better rig though. That's an urban legend.

Money is debatable but the rig will defiantly be better. Also the warranties are far better for each individual part than if you buy a pre-built especially from a bigger manufacturer.

Most pre-built companies cheap out on the mobo, case, and psu too.

Build it yourself. You will save some money and you will know what is going into the pc. It may take you a little time to figure out what parts are best for you at first but after your first build it will be much easier. Also better warranty on each item. Best part is you will know what each part will be able do/handle in the pc with the timings and settings. You don't have to buy top of the line items to build one. Go middle of the road on some parts but get a good case and cpu cooling and you can overclock your cpu, memory and video card to get the speeds your are looking for.

I hate prebuilts.. crap wiring, crap mobos, crap memory.. the only real advatage per se, is the cheap OS, but that's usually so full of garbage "extras" that I'm not sure is worth the hastle of cleaning it up.

I've been building my PCs since 1993... first one lasted me 5 years, second another 9 years.. on my third build now, and I don't expect any needed changes for another 5 years from now.

In contrast, my brother's Dell has an annoying case fan issue, locks up all the time, and is slower than molasses. I tried to build one for him, but he wanted Dell.. soo.... :lol:

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Canes vs Lightning 7pm

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
