Hello NextGenUpdate members

Below this text is the exact same specs in my built Gaming rig. I'd like it for you guys to simply rate on the build quality for the price. Thanks. Please realize i'm a massive AMD fan, so no bashing of AMD CPU's in here please. I don't bash Intel, don't bash AMD.

This was one hell of a build, and I loved every second of putting her together. If there's one thing everyone should pick up on, there's no pleasure in buying prebuilts. For god sake buy your own, customize it to what you want it to be, you'll take on way more pride with it after, knowing that your blood/sweat/tears have gone into making that build.

4tb..when would you ever fill that?

Why didn't you get a bluray drive? And if that was only 1/4 your Christmas paycheck you should of just got 8 more ssd's.

Why would you need a blu ray drive they are pointless.

He might have an xbox not a ps3 and might get a bluray movie and doesn't want to pirate them or he might just be one of them people that get ps3 games early and rip them or whatever it is called and post it on torrent sites. Not that pointless, when i built my pc i didn't get one cause i have a ps3.

all that money, and you didnt get an intel processor?

I don't want to bash AMD, but you have lost significant performance by getting a 8150 instead of a 3570/3770k CPU. Especially since you are spending that kind of money, it doesn't actually make this a very efficient build. And why did you get a GS800? That's only like 80+ and isn't modular. You were better off getting some Seagate 3TB drives for 150 bucks and buying 4 of those. The performance is hardly different and you would have gained a hell of a lot more storage.

he definatly missed the info on getting good core parts, for $2000 could have got a i7, a 7970 or 2 and a 6tb raid but he got a amd , a overpriced raid, and a sketchy power supply

Making a 4 grand build and using AMD?
You need to do your research before throwing away money like that.

I love AMD, there's nothing wrong with there processors. We all have personal preferences and I have always been a fan of the FX series. Intel is an amazing brand of CPU, I acknowledge that. But as I said before, we all have our personal preferences, and I always loved AMD. /end
