Mid-Range Buyer's Guide (Q4'05) “Choosing the right components for a custom-built computer can prove to be an arduous and time-consuming task, especially with the large array of choices at varying performance and price levels. Dropping a bundle of cash on the fastest processor, graphics card or monitor can eat up your budget pretty quickly, leaving little room for all of the other components. This is especially true if you are on a tight budget. That GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB is of little use with a sub-$100 processor or 128 MB of system memory. There is no perfect, all-around solution that works for everyone - it all depends on two things: what your needs are and how much money you are willing to spend. The goal of this guide is to outline an entire mid-range computer system for around $1,500. This includes the internal hardware, input devices, monitor and speakers (everything but an OS). The components we have chosen for this system are what we consider to be good all-around products with the best bang for the buck. Depending on your individual needs, you may prefer to swap out different components in order to focus more on gaming, multimedia or multitasking. While we will recommend specific components throughout the article, we will also point out some options that you may want to consider as well.” Direct Link: http://www.thetechlounge.com/articles.php?id=240 |
