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:

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
