New PC - Suggestions? - Page 2

It'S not an arbitrary number, but I just have had a look at the prices over here, two weeks ago, and I think such a system can be had for a three-digit price. Mind you, I just researched for my own brandnew system, too.

But then, my living place is not Viper's.

So why "Damn", Viper?

So far this thread has saved you plenty of money.

Fair enough, it's just that I limited myself to 1000,- when building mine as well, only to end up getting a faster CPU and RAM not all that long after. On the one hand, that means that over time I got enough replaced parts to build a second PC (basically put the old one back together), but on the other I could have saved money in the long run by just getting what I really wanted to begin with.
