There should be a new forum section called 'Questions for Oxy' and put anything PC specs related in there. (Not trolling, he's simply the most knowledgeable and helpful on the topic :D)
It would be me spamming the same 3 different links in every topic. I should probably just throw some general low/mid/high range budget builds up somewhere. Feeling way to lazy to respond to most of these journals these days :( Luckily we have zekxa and few others that are very knowledgeable as well, probably more so than me even. Afaik they keep themselves more uptodate with overclock.net etc.
Parent
:D zekxa should be there too yea mb. think making a journal wouldnt do much tho since people will just say 'yea but i have 50e more than the system oxy put there so what upgrade should i get' and still end up with journals for that :D
Parent
Make a tutorial to tutorial section(oh rly), just include low/mid/high(er)/almoust best to get -builds. Update them every now and then(some months??) and include timestamp when they have been updated. Add some links to read more etc...
Parent
this wouldn't help anyone. :P Say you have a 800e budget, I could theoretically put you together 10 entirely different systems using 10 different gpus, cpus, motherbaords, rams, etc all of which will likely yield equal results, but differ in quality. Also there's always the debate between AMD and Nvidia, or AMD and Intel for that matter. The problem with building a PC for others is that I never really truly know what the fuck they plan on using it for. If it's something specific part X might just outperform the usual part Y i recommend people to get, etc.

Ive got really bad experience with MSI :P would never recommend anything from there :D
Parent
Why not? What experience? :(
Parent
MSI Mainboards & Notebooks had a lot of problems when i used to work in customer Service
Along with acer, those were the most one causing problems.
Parent
I've worked also in cst support and the main problem usually lies between the chair and computer as you might now :)
Parent
xeon E3-1230 v3 (cheapest intel cpu with 4 cores + hyperthreading and without integrated graphics)
gybabyte mainboard H97 chip (or Z97 if you choose a K series cpu or want to use SLI)
some ram
biggest nvidia you can afford with the money left
