I'll buy it from you for ten bucks. I'll even throw in a free chicken wing.

No seriously.


Nice build. But I'm too poor to go out and spend a thousand dollars on a new computer.

The problem is, is that you didn't put it in USD and I'm too lazy to convert it.

TheMrSabotage, your build costs $1279.74, so Rofl's is a better bang for the buck. But relating to Rofl's new comp, you're lucky. I need a new computer, but just can't afford it.

£600 is just under $1000. i would personally go with an amd processor cuz their cheaper, and also boot faster...but thats just me. that and ssd's are over-rated.

Mac's aren't made to game no. Not only doesn't it support most steam games, but it also overheats pretty fast (macbook)

And most important of all: A PC can be upgraded later on for better stats. A mac cannot, so you have to buy an entirely new one if your mac gets out of date.

Which is when the shit hits the fan, because the king of obsolescence Apple releases a new 2,000 dollar gaming level spec macbook pro every few years. Just get a PC, it's the smarter choice.

Maybe rofl dosn't but I do!

Firstly I would chose an nvidia card instead and have a 64gb SSD for the boot drive and 128gb ssd for steam other than that I agree ;p

Firstly, at least my gpu wont burn out like yours did.

2. I didn't have the money at the time for an SSD, let alone two, so we put 2 500GB Western Digitals in RAID1
