Hi people.
What order of importance would you put in a new build, in terms of your budget for hardware?
I'm very very pleased to see more and more people put a good quality Power SUpply Unit in now, and that's gonna rank very high for me, but what else?
I see a few questions on Cases: Now, dont get me wrong, you can get a good case for sub £30 but I have to add, this purcahse may last you 5 or 6 or more PC builds....so why not spend the dough on the case, and get a cheaper CPU...you KNOW you'll upgrade the CPU soon. The case may last you for literally years.
Ram? Who buys bargain ram?
GRAPHICS CARDS /sharp intake of breath.
Is there anyone here brave enough to drop their £200 card to £100 to get a really nice PSU and a really nice case?
What order OF IMPORTANCE to you put in the hardware for a new build?
I'm not gonna ask about actual dough, cos you've all got different budgets, but put them in order, and then you'll see what people will scarifice for other components.
