The book I am refering to is the motherboard manual that comes in the box. I never put one together before this one and it was easier than I though. I think 1-10 it would be a 5 or 6. I bought an Asus board and followed the book. Easy and worked first try. No problems so far.
If money is truly no object, have one built for you by a computer store near you. Get all the nice stuff with dual video cards, serial ATA hard drives, fast A$$ processor and a few(yes) a few flat screens and you wont have to worry about it for a while.
How about this: I made a comparison because I was thinking of upgrading. Items: 17" Arianet FastXS TFT Silv - 12ms x 2 Full Tower Case with Hydraulic Door AMD Athlon64 FX55 MSI GeForce 6800Ultra 256MB DDR3 x 2 160GB Seagate Barracuda7 Corsair 512MB XMS3200 DDR SDRAM x 4 550W ATX Power Supply 16x Artec DVDRW Dual Layer Retail x 2 Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (OEM) Sony 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive Creative Inspire 6700 6.1 Speakers Creative HS-300 Headset Microsoft Internet Keyboard M/soft Wireless Intellimse Leather MSI K8N Neo4 Diamond nForce4 SLi Now here is the price of buying the components, and building yourself, which reall isnt hard, you can find a guide here: http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20010115/pcsystem-05.html Its a bit old, but its the same with the components still. the price of the above system by buying and building yourself is: £2,400 Go to Alienware, and configure the same system for yourself, and you will see that it costs a whopping £3,800. You may say money is no object, but I doubt anyone can turn down an almost 50% saving.
Yes it may be a 50% saving but u also get alot more than that..plus it'd take for eva for me to put it together around all tha otha s.hit i have to do...thx fa yall help but im gettin alienware
whoa you not listening. Alienware like other big brand companies might use cheap reject bits. I know that there is a range of AMD 3500+ that have a screwed up cache in them that the big brands are using. DOnt buy an alienware just for the case. you can get those cases anywhere. The stuff I quoted before was less than their bottom system which has the same processor but lesser ramn, hd, gfx card and all that crap and its $1,572.00. Alienware - rip AMD Athlon™ 64 3200+ Processor 512MB Dual Channel DDR PC-3200 SDRAM 400MHz 80GB Seagate® SATA with 8MB Cache ATI RADEON™ 9550 128MB DDR Alienware - $1,572.00. Custom - good prices Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 3200 (939) - $309.00 MB: ASUS A8V Deluxe - $175.00 RAM: 1Gb DDR Ram Kingston PC3200 - $269.00 GFX Card: Leadtek 6600 GT A6600GT 128M - $356.00 CD Drive: LG DVD ReWriter GSA4163B OEM - $109.00 Case: ATX 8870K - $ 79.00 ^those you can pick up soo much cheaper at a local store, or in a pc mag. so it will be much cheaper.
