I think you are greatly underestimating the time required to assemble a pc. I have built over 100 PCs from scratch in my lifetime and rebuilt countless more. There is almost no way you can go from boxes to built to working PC with an OS install in under 25 minutes. Especially if you are dealing with new or different hardware each time which a normal builder would be in most cases.

Also your prices left out the OS cost. I know most people pirate their OS but if you actually buy it like you should then it is 99-199 in price which adds considerable cost. I am not an AMD fan, however this is due to the .Net development I have done in the past and what my company does now. AMD does not work well with developing .Net software.

i just upgraded a week ago, i just rebuilt it how can i underesstimate something i just did.

I spent an hour researching which parts to buy but you have to do that with a prebuilt pc as well, unless you are just that ignorant to let a random joe build a random pc at a random price you dont understand.

I was a bit harsh against intel I understand some things are designed with the intention of using intel components so it runs better with that. I just grew up poor and bought what I could afford so I always went with AMD which really is little to no difference from intel for the majority of programs out there.

Never bought an OS in my life, Robin Hood would never pay the greedy king

I would never pirate an OS bcus I'm a professional and expect security and support at the highest level

AMD processors are significantly worse than Intel, but it's like the difference between the 0-60 speed on a ferrari vs a porsche...both are overkill and you'll never use it for gaming so save a buck.

Honestly if you wanted to build the cheapest machine that will crush EQ with ease, just buy one of the AMD APUs and leave out the video card entirely. Then you're getting the video card/proc at around $150 together, do 8 gigs of RAM at like $40, buy a 60 gig SSD for like $50, PSU for $30-40, mobo for under $100 and you're sitting around $400 if you buy a case. $500 if you buy the OS.

Also if you have a Microcenter in your area you will get the CPU/mobo cheaper than anywhere online even after tax. Plus they will price match newegg on other things, you can sometimes get a demo model case and stuff.

wow i did the math turned into 500$ on the dot. i honestly guesstimated at first but it turned out to be exact

LATER NERD

Forgot the mobo.

[Kergan]

Forgot the mobo, case, operating system, etc...

A lotta times you can reuse stuff (especially the case) but that isn't really the discussion so you have to account for it even though its not a big cost. And telling people to pirate an OS to build a cheap machine is pretty dumb.

So 550+99 for an OS = 649. The PC he listed was $699.

Not such a bad deal after all then is it?

Use Linux and you don't have to pay for an os. Just saved somebody $100.
