Q: I have a project for computer engineering where i will need to buy my own computer parts and build a computer. i know that there are big savings involved when buying barebone systems in a package.therefore i want to get the best value for my buck. However i want to buy as little as possible after a buy the kit.
A: go to www.tomshardware.com/charts to do research first, then www.pricewatch.com for the best deals. most vendors there have online customization, so you can see exactly what you get before you buy. the only problem i had using it is say i want cpu X, Mobo Y, and graphic card Z. it's much harder to find one supplier who has all three in stock. right now, the best values are: intel Q6600 cpu Radeon HD 3850 or 3870 Any Asus motherboard 800 mhz memory (1066mhz is overpriced) Western Digital's Caviar 500gb SATA hd (AAKS)
