[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 400200, member: 23472"] A thought or two, please correct me where I am no doubt in error. Over the years I have built a few pc's mostly for my self getting the parts from computer fairs, and some shops, this has always worked out well............until a few years ago. The bi monthly computer fairs stopped (They did announce it, with warning) the shops still sold stuff at the same prices they did...........but then shops started selling just a working tower (No monitor / mouse / keyboard) For me it was cheaper to buy a tower than to build one and to a better spec too. So my point / question is....... I understand a "gaming pc" has to be "really good[SIZE=18px][COLOR=rgb(128,0,128)]*[/COLOR][/SIZE]" so would it not be cheaper to buy a dedicated games console (Which ever is the flavour of the month) than to build your own PC? What always worries me is being as its a pc, if some one then decides to load this programme or that programme and also do this while it is doing that, just because they can will it not slow it down over time, like it can and does happen to a normal use pc. [SIZE=18px][COLOR=rgb(128,0,128)]*[/COLOR][/SIZE]Fast processor, fast graphics card, big power supply etc I do not play any pc or console games, so as said, I am probably in error. [/QUOTE]
