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.

You have quite a beast there, from an AMD guy, I think you should upgrade to an Ivy Bridge processor, but nevertheless that animal will surely send the latest games to bed early

you could have got alot of cocaine and hookers for that price and still get a decent pc

just why, you could do a dual gtx 780 Ti build for that money and you dont need the rest of those parts that you're wasting money on, seriously what the hell mate

At least I can fight
I don't know, but with that type of budget, you could've gotten a STRONGER PC! I mean I spent $700 on mines and it even has a better processor, a case with nearly the same functionalities as yours, and a better gaming mouse.

I'm hating though I'm just giving you my opinion..

In my opinion man, that $1000 hard drive is unnecessary, Keeping it cheap for the optical drive is a good idea, but what are you going to be doing that you need 32gb of RAM? other then those two things that is a very well put together build!

Good Luck!

Wow all this guy did was build a PC and shared his experience with us, and now i see nothing but jealousy with all the negative comments. May i be the one to say nice job m8 and you should be proud to work for your money and then spend it anyway you want, unlike most of the spoilt little kids on here who cry to mummy and daddy to get things they want. Enjoy your PC and remember its all your Smile MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
