Instead of cobbling together your current pile of shit computer using
parts from your grandfather's garage, maybe you should consider a modern
computer from an actual "Compamy".

 
No thanks, I prefer to build my own.

 
The thrill of that wore off for me some time ago. 'I certainly hope
everything in that big box of crap from NewEgg rally plays well together.'
And that was after happy hours of researching CPUs, mobos, etc. Lemme see,
Intel or AMD? Socket 666 or LGA 1234?

Same here.

I spent MANY years building my own, mainly because it was cheaper. Yes, it is
fun for a while, but eventually your time is worth more than whatever money
you save.

These days, I would just rather buy something that works when I take it out of
the box and plug it in.  I am no longer interested in being a systems
integrator without getting paid for it.
