Businesses literally throw into the garbage PCs that can run EQ just fine. Toss in a $40 vid card and a $60 small SSD and you'll notice exactly 0 difference between a $8000 supercomputer and your $100 dumpster dive.

Noting wrong with Digital Storm. They are reasonably priced and if you don't want to deal with the building yourself they are a great option. While I build my own PCs this is the place I ordered several peoples PCs from.

BTW I did finish building my new pc few weeks ago as well.

I dont think its an issue with if you want to build it or not but more if you are capable. it takes about 10 minutes to actually assemble the pc and 5 more minutes to install the drivers.

If you chose to reinstall your OS while you do it then maybe an extra 10 minutes of just waiting for it to install...

unless you are so rich that 300-400$ price break isnt worth 15 minutes of your time

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
