This is just a note for all of you PC builders out there. Last week I discussed the build vs buy debate, so I thought I'd make a short note today and just share a site I recently started using.
PC Part Picker is an amazing resource (www.pcpartpicker.com) that is an ideal starting point if you want to go the build route. You can start with any part you like, though I'd suggest picking your CPU first, and then it will show you motherboards that fit that chipset. Then you can progress through the process, comparing prices, brands, and reviews as it narrows down what parts will work together automagically. It also shows you a historical graph of the cost of the pieces you've picked, bundles that include them at various online vendors, and more.
If you're looking to build something economical, outrageous, or just for fun this is a great site for you. If you have a login, which is free, you can even save your builds and share them with friends (or G+) for advice or comments.
So go check out www.pcPartPicker.com today and build your perfect machine, whether it's the under $300 special or the $10,000 monster machine! Have fun!
