I was looking through a book and saw this computer. This is the way it was listed in the book. I'm going to build this computer for one of my cousin's where her birthday is in November. But I still want to build the pc that I was planning to build from the beginning. So I wanted to ask you guys if you perhaps happen to see one of these pieces a bit cheaper than the price listed above. Please post the website, on this thread.

But here is the Antec 902. That I bought for my pc.

You should buy a new desk and a new globe.

the rug looks a little cheesy too

Yep. Any more criticism? I'm moving around the end of August. So I'm going rennovate my whole room.

If you keep your computer in front of your keyboard like that it'll be hard to type and see your monitor

derp

Also I'm pretty sure that some of those prices or specs are way off.

You keep your porn dvd's out in the open? might want to hide that case bro.

I predict that this topic will get off topic. REALLY QUICKLY!!!!!!

Wait... you can put porn on a DVD
NO MORE HIDING IT IN D:\HP, HURRAY!

I always created a file in my bookmarks, named TF2. No one will ever suspect, I hide porn in there. lmfao jk

Okay upon further inspection, everything is wrong with that build and you should not ever get it. It's literally 3x as expensive on average per part.

Don't get it, for fuck's sake. That's a computer that would have been good in 2006 and it's costing a ridiculous amount.

that RAM seems a little steep

So give me an idea of what pc I can build.

Build the intel sweet spot build from the link in that topic.

Will perform 2x better than the build you suggested at least, cost less, and be much more energy efficient.

I was looking through my pc case. And something hit my head that I never asked myself.

When buying pc parts do they have to be of the same company? Never thought of that.

No

But if you buy an Intel processor it helps to buy an Intel mainboard.

Okay thx

I actually personally like Asus motherboards because they always seem to have the features I want for good prices, and they look sharp

And Asus is a really great brand, very reliable.

Yes Asus is reliable but Intel offers advanced replacement. So it all depends on down time. Being that I do this for a living I find the need for advanced replacement to be essential for my line of work but for the home it may be different for you.
