I often find myself specing out builds on Newegg just to see what I could do in a given price range. Many PC hardware sites often feature "build guides" that list all the parts you would need to build a capable gaming PC across different price ranges.
Just now I went to Newegg and built out what I would consider my Dream PC, which I have attached as a PDF with all the links intact (does anyone know how to hyperlink to a Newegg part list?). This is what I would build if I was more or less rich and money was no object, while not going overboard (for the most part ) on parts that cost 100% more for a 5-10% performance advantage.
So I was wondering what you guys would do, given a similar budget. Form factor is whatever you want it to be.
What PC would you build on a ~$3K budget? Not a hard budget limit, if there's a part that you just have to have but would go over by $100 (like me) that's fair game. Hell if you'd rather get slightly inferior parts but have the PC built by some OEM like iBuyPower I'd love to hear that too.
Also if you want so show what you can do for ~$1000 I'd love to hear it. I'm of the opinion that you can build a perfectly capable gaming rig for that price.
P.S. any critiques of my build are more than welcome!
