My current build is kind of a mix and match of slow upgrading. Plan on some day upgrading my video cards. Which will likely be a very long time off as I do not really see much of a point currently. Anyway..

(Would love a bigger ssd but the cost for me isn't worth it yet).

I know what you mean. If they were only cheaper. I have two 64gb ssd's sitting in raid and would love to expand that or at least go a bit higher in capacity for this raid setup. Yet, if I go higher for to cheap I get crappy read and write speeds. Not to mention I would prefer SLC over MLC, but not like they mass produce those. Not to mention the double price on them. Meh, you can't currently win in the none moving parts storage. =/

I'm thinking of building my own PC as it's cheaper than buying one, does anyone have any tips, I'm very tech savvy, but just as I was going to start my level 3 course in computing (which was the building bit) I had to drop out for personal reasons. I got distinctions in the first 3 courses though

considering i seen a class go over everything (except details like compatability) in about 20-30 min on how to make a computer, it shouldnt be to hard. just look up whats compatable with what, price/power and what plugs in where.

[A W Reezy]

Mine is a simple Asus that I bought off Newegg. i7 processor, Nvidia 640 GT graphics card, 16GB Memory, 1 TB harddrive. Nothing to fancy, but it was under $1000 and it runs everything I need fine. It is a great Video and Photo editing machine.

Also built my machine when i7 started. Well not exactly at the beginning but Sandy Bridge weren't out at the time. That was at the end of October 2010.
I actually need to replace my GPU. The cooling fan is total crap and the plastic frame broke and the only thing holding it, is tape. My Mobo has a SATAIII Marvel chipset but I do NOT trust it so I'm actually reluctant to buy a better SSD. I know people had very bad experience with OCZ since they have the highest return rates but I persoanlly didn't any problem with it. It crashed only twice.

Overall, when I need power, I have it. The only game I play a lot on this computer is Audiosurf (LOL) but I played Portal 2 @ max before with no problems whatsoever.

I've been talking with my Father as of late and apparently you can build a gaming PC yourself that is just as good as an Alien Ware PC but for a much cheaper price ....He recently got a Laptop actually that he had custom parts and hardware added to that is INCREDIBLY powerful; the rating for it is a 7.4 out of 7.9 (I think...i will have to ask for conformation once he comes home)

Mine is i7 2600k, gtx 570, 16gb ram made for 3d rendering, but you can still game on it ofc.

It's probably quite powerful but the results in windows experience benchmark doesn't tell how powerful that PC really is.
