So my computer is 4 years old now, which I built myself with mostly components that were very well rated for overclocking. In the end, I didnt even bother with overclocking and even though I built a pretty good system for back then, I am really limited in what I could upgrade for better performance. And in fact, I may as well just get a whole new system as stuff becomes obsolete so damn fast, and this time, I can save on the components, as I really tried to go more top of the line, for overclocking purposes.
The only reason I could see going through that again (which would be my 3rd build), is purely to save on cost. I compared prices of a pre-built system from puget.com and I could save myself around $400- $500 by doing it myself.
Does anyone know any other good (cheaper) sites for pre-built systems?
Another question, you guys find any issues with compatibility on Win 7 64 bit? I found a couple of compatibility issues and even my office/company VPN does not support it (even the 32 bit), but thats probably our departments fault. I know my DVD Camcorder(Samsung) offers no support for 64 bit yet. Im mean seriously!
Thanks in advance.
Current Specs:
DFI LanParty SLI-DR
NVidia GEForce 7800 GT
AMD Athlon 64 4000+
2X1GB (DDR 500) G-Skill memory
