I no longer build PC. I don\'t understand why some do. The cost is more the just money. OS licence, Assemble time, dealing with multiparty distributors for parts warranty, self service. even installing the OS for the hardware can get involved.
I\'m retired and don\'t want to spend $5K to get a real high end machine still I want a fast well build machine for half that price. I also have no problem opening a machine and adding stuff. Just happens I got a new machine last week here is what I got and paid .
