The Difference in what to buy

PC World Magazine - Top 15 Desktop PCs

May not be your daily reading materials, but it is for the majority of educated high income PC consumers.

silentpcreview is good for quietfreaks like me

Comment from Faiakes @ 2005/06/10

Yes but undortunately he doesn't produce reviews often enough. So things come out and by the time he reviews them you have already bought them.

www.silentpcreview.com for indepth CPU cooling tests, cases, HDD etc.. all very informative

madshrimps for CPU cooling

for anything else I have to read several pages to get a good picture :/

I'd like to take exception here with the UK based Custom PC, very thorough people and enthusiasts too.
Best for PSUs and custom built rigs.

Tom's = Best LCDs - I agree
Mad = Best Cooling - I agree
Guru3d = Finding best drivers
Anandtech = Best RAM
Anandtech + TechReport = Best mobo

i don't have a particular site for Graphics cards. Anyone know a thorough site?

The only halfway usefull one is the chip (tough, it's not even really good for PC more for consumer electronics), but since all their top 10s are on the web I'm not buying it.

since I'm connected on the web in 1997 I stopped buying magazines

It has just started coming in Greece (issue 5 now). It is not bad. Why does it look so much like PC Magazine?

By the way, what are the top 3 PC mags?

Me:
1) Custom PC
2) PC Mag Extreme Tech
3) actually I couldn't find a better mag over the Internet for third place.

Of course: The Internet is #1 for PC info, above all magazines
