In all honesty it's the only way to run a serious games machine (not a dig at consoles btw),

I don't see Steam OS as the future of gaming just yet so I'd say he's made a wise choice (apart from not building it himself), that way he could have spent the extra £150 on better foliage wink

Didn't know you had the capabilty to build a PC matey if I'm honest,not that you haven't i just didn't see you as this type of person.

I mean most will say its dead easy but i beg to differ,i would personally have it built by so called experts and not have the hassle as i have limited patience.

I guess why it has surprised me that you have built your own system,as patience is certainly not your cup of tea,especially when it comes to playing games.

But Kudos to you Kila for building your system and i expect a full report listed on here about it.wink

Was going to out source my build to Swanny,but i expect Swanny will spend the next 2 years waiting for price drops of all my listed componants so he could take advantage of poor Farther Timey crazy.

But on a serious note ,if i hadn't got this iMac sitting in the office that suits all my internet needs i would buy a gaming rig for sure as i would have needed some PC in the office,and take it from me,it wouldn't be some cheap PC World Junk or so called Dell Gaming System.

for me building a rig is part of the experience, can be very enjoyable and fulfilling also when its done and turns on for first time.

My rig is personal to me, built how I want it in terms of noise, cooling and spec.

In my current rig, the only part that was difficult was fitting the cpu cooler, they designed it to be very awkward for one person to do themselves. I love my fractal design case, especially the drive bays how I can slide them in and out with ease.

I can understand for someone who has never done it before it can appear scary and in the past I have made mistakes.

Once I was building a rig for my friend, and I popped in the cpu without using thermal compound, that may seem silly, but this was the era just when 586 cpu's had come out and it was normal to not use compound on 486 cpu's. Within 10 seconds there was a pop noise and the cpu was blown, removing it had a massive burn mark smile

Now days motherboards have protection so would auto shutdown and of course its now standard practice to use compound on all cpu's.

I had every intention of building myself but came across the setup that I now own that had literally only just been built, hence the deal with my xbox one!

The hardest part is picking the parts, as proven by Nelly and Chrysalis everyone has a different view on what's best or even better value and it's an absolute minefield!

here you go sell the xbox1 and get this http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/apollo-pre-built-... smile expensive tho but there is a premium for prebuilt.

actually I think this one is better for 2 reasons.

http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/achilles-high-spe...

1 - its cheaper
2 - the first one isnt a k processor so cannot be overclocked, the second one can be.
