Are you planning to purchase a new computer in the near future ? You are also someone who builds the computer on his own, someone who does not rely on retail computers that might have parts that are not the quality you demand ? The gotfrag price guide might be a good starting point if you answered both questions with yes.
Seven different systems are introduced ranging from budget system to high end systems. Except for the budget system which uses an AMD cpu all other categories present a INTEL and an AMD system. Next to the budget system (500$ – 700$) resides the entry level systems (750$ – 1100$), the mid range systems (1200$ – 1500$) and finally the high end systems which start at 1900$. Helpful as a starting point. Unfortunately there is no explanation why the mentioned hardware was chosen.
