Hello -
So I have an urge to get a solid gaming PC but have been told by many that you can make one for much cheaper if you buy the parts from a vendor and assemble it yourself. For those of you who have done this... is it a difficult task? From the videos I have watched it seems the wire management part would be a pain.
I am thinking of building around the AM3 platform with an AMD Phenom II processor. Also will be looking at a 750 watt power supply, 4 gigs of DDR3 memory and for now a single ATi Radeon 4890 1GB video card.
Thoughts anyone? Any tips or some sort of direction in terms of a user friendly resource guide would be much appreciated.
