on 06-21-11 at 09:20am Edited 1 time(s) totalbuiding computers is a hobby of mine, i studdied computer engineering, havent compleated it though need to finish off the rest of it when i get some $$$$
i can hold a long conversation about what parts are best for a budget gaming PC, there are many people who fall for the cheap immitations sold by future shop and staples that only lead to dissapointment.
i actualy seen a comp that is almost the same as mine in staples, the only diff is i have better ram, video and mother board. they wanted 4k for it
