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.

It's just referencing that you'll take more pride in it, if you do it yourself.

as your pc price i can see your virginity is very very high but overall you definitly overpayed on the velociraptor drives as they are a waste of money could have just gotten caviar blacks for half the price also a gtx 690 bottlenecks a 8150 for sure.

This is only 1/4th of my Christmas pay check. So you're opinion about my virginity is useless.
