    ]
    But I know there are people out there know mess things about to make it look really powerful when actually its s**t

    Self building is worth it if you have the time/patience (experience is useful, but not 100% necessary) or you could head to one of the many system builders out there (Scan's 3XS systems are an oft cited example) - depends whether you want a turnkey system or to have a bit of fun building it.

    I've just (re)built my PC with a few upgrades - if you want an idea on what I've done have a look at http://forums.hexus.net/pc-hardware/...ml#post2358441 onwards

    The main things to watch out for are cheap OEM PSUs and Double RAM Graphics cards.
