Suddenly guides everywhere. :D

I've started writing the How to Build A Computer one but won't be able to get pictures for at least another 2 weeks.


Salvage: I look forward to your guide, I imagine it'll be quite good.

I ended up deleting that post since I went back and read the first page that has all of the answers. I should know better. :rolleyes:

I've got my guide typed up and wouldn't mind some feedback. It's obviously not finished and there are somethings I need to clarify and of course add pictures. Anybody mind taking a read over it for me? Also I don't really know where to put it. It's saved as Word document at the moment.

Sent my guide on building an AMD powered machine to Voyager... Hopefully he has the time to review it...

You can send it to me and I'll look it over.

I got your PM while I was out to dinner with the girl :cool:

Hehehe.... I cut out most of the biased information about AMD over Intel... My main point is AMD is great for a budget under 1K.... John got the biased draft as a PM :eek:

Here's the "live" draft. Completed by me with insight gathered from the interwebs. I'm a little tired, and very busy right now so here's my thoughts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15D_eHSpiHpi1v3zbvCD20Ds9yin64PCR-8sIzPDq_og/edit?usp=sharing

I was also thinking that somebody could edit a guide for the other side (Intel) of things.... Maybe Ninja since he's got a guide in the draft process as well?

Apart from the fanboyism this is pretty well put together. I like you broke down the systems and why you chose what you did.

Thanks Darren.. It's quite hard to be pro AMD within a certain price range without having a bit of bias.. I'll be making it even more factual in a few days. I have 2 volunteer events this weekend, an AP bio test on Monday and a pre calc test on Tuesday :eek::eek::eek:

Personally I'd go Intel unless I had under $600 to spend. I'm looking at about $750 for a new mobo, i7, RAM, and GPU whenever my next upgrade comes along.

I just went back to PC Part Picker and made a list of components... I don't know why, but the last time I looked up a decent Intel build it was averaging $1110+ which is why I've always been kinda pro-AMD... But for $150 more then what my computer costs without discounts and rebates, this is a nice rig: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/T9m6mG

See my cost would be much higher because I'd go nVidia and also get 16GB of RAM.
