The gayest shyt about getting the parts are the bullshyt rebates.
I built my shyt back in November and I still haven't seen any of that money from rebates yet...
you sent all the shyt in? I always forget...

highly doubt it. youd have to occupy slickdeals daily or something and youd still get a midrange system, imo
Challenge accepted. I will hit you back up tonight. What is the highest demanding game out right now? I can get it running on high with decent frames.
It might take some extreme rebates and deals to get it done, but I will get it done.
Liquid always quotes these prices, but leaves out the fact he expects you to break into microcenter and steal half the shyt

$100 on ram? you can get 8 GB for $50 building your computer you can do it 2 ways.
You can build for the future, what I mean by that is that you spend the extra money on a motherboard that will last through the upgrades youll get in a few years. If you buy a $50 motherboard, it will actually probably really good for the set you are doing NOW. But soon as some new technology comes out, you are fukked. (at least in my experience).
Same with PSU. You can get a PSU thats gonna be amazing for you TODAY, but if you plan on upgrading in 2-3 years, forget about it.. some new video card will come out that requires you to use more cables and you dont have a connector for it. A more expensive PSU might have the extra cables for it though.
The difference is a couple hundred usually on parts that will be great for you and the near future, and parts that will be great for you years down the line.
Also shop around. People here swear by microcenter and newegg.com , but if you got a Fry's Electronics near by, they usually have more parts and better pricing than Microcenter and better pricing than Newegg.
I am down to $485 right now for a build with a 7850, 500gb hdd, 64gb sata 3 ssd, 8gb ram, 450W PSU and Windows 8
I will find a way to keep cutting, so far that is only with 1 *rebate* you have to deal with. It really is not that hard to build a quality pc on the cheap.

its an estimate more or less. and 50 bucks on motherboard is bad in my experience, a faulty mobo controller can bottleneck the whole system, not to mention in 1.5 years youd want to put some tech advanced stuff in...but u cant

I agree with you in general tho.

what cpu+mobo ? and 450w for a 7850 you'll throw that psu in the
nah, you should be fine with a quality 450W for that 7850.what cpu+mobo ? and 450w for a 7850 you'll throw that psu in the
Yeah, I sent all of it in. I had 3 different ones though. 1 went through, the other they sent me some bullshyt email saying that something was preventing it to process, and I haven't heard shyt about the other one.
The pretty much do that because they figure everybody isn't going to follow up. It's lame breh

thats funny we talkin about rebates with computer shyt I dont even bother with them mafukkas I been thinking about starting a computer building company
Saw this site
ORIGIN PC Gaming Computers - Customized PC Gaming Power
saw how much they over charging people
I figure damn theres some money in this shytthen I went to ebay, to see what people are actually buying / bidding on.. average profit I calculated was about $100-200 profit a computer on real computers (gaming computers selling for $700, but they have a 9800 GT and $50 mobo in them
) but thats also not calculating what ebay takes from the transaction, so still not sure if its worth it to sell on ebay.
but
its not any worse than what best buy be charging people for computers 
The good thing about selling computers is you honestly dont really have to support it once you sell it. Everything has a warranty for at least a year, and you can just tell the customer they have to go through the maker of the part.
that's a nice case.
