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

pcmags are a waste of money

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.

tomshardware is the reference for LCDs

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?

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.
