Q: I seriously need a new computer; a friend said this site had the best options. I was also wondering, is there a certain season (Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter) that has better (Newest) parts released? I want to get the "Hot Rod", but wanted to wait out a few seasons; they supposedly release a new list of parts each season. I wanted to know if any one else has followed their guide on computer parts; or if they could suggest a better website for compatible parts.
A: It's one of the best. I've always used it as reference and I've been recommending their guide. They keep updating their guide because of the fast pace in graphics cards development. If you need the PC now, there is no reason to wait for the next update. The performance difference would not be huge. One thing I've noted is that they tend recommend a PSU that is just about right but with very little room for upgrades. If you have upgrades in mind over the near term, install a bigger power supply.
