Building a new PC.

[Fat_Sacks]

I bought most of the parts yesterday and I'm hopefully gonna build it in a few days, since I have to order the HDD because my store didn't have it. Anyway, here's the specs.

CPU: AMD FX-4100 3.6GHz
Video card: Nvidia GTX 550ti
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Case: MSI Nighthawk
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ 970
Ram: Patriot G2 series 1x4GB 1333MHz
PSU: Antec EA-650 650 watts

Is it cheaper to build a PC from scratch, or is it cheaper to buy one new?

[Fat_Sacks]

Building from scratch is far cheaper. A computer that you buy for around 700 bucks you can easily build for around 400 bucks.

Oh cool, inform us when you finish building it.

Show us a picture if you can...

You can always look at the case to get a sneak peak. :p


Edit: Spoiler tags don't work ;-;

If you are going to make it a gaming rig be sure to get your hands on Batman: Arkham City, you won't regret it

[Fat_Sacks]

I'll be definatly getting Arkham City.
Also, isnt it obvious this is a gaming rig. I mean, c'mon, why would I be getting a factory over-clocked 1024 mb video card if I'm not going to be using it to play games?

Update: I'll hopefully start assembling the whole thing in 3 days. I ordered a 2 TB Barracuda off Amazon today and the CPU should come on the same day. Still need to find a good monitor tho.

Saving 300 bucks isn't a really big deal in my opinion, because your typical person would rather have a computer pre-built.

You can build a second computer for that money... How can you seriously think that 300 dollars is not a big deal..?
