Love these popcorn comments lmao, it's good having a comment fest with people every now and again who are so stubborn and can't think outside of the box.
I don't think you guys get the point.
@2D "
or have the ambition to learn about computers", obviously you fall under this category. Where does it say he wants a 3k build? by him 'building' and posting a $3k PC? He might have knowledge about computers or he might assume that's whats required to play on 'higher' settings. My logic does not suggest that at all. If someone asks advice on PC parts and what would work well etc, you would assume they don't have the full knowledge about computers. You don't need any degrees to learn, you can learn just like you did yourself.
@
Rukee Unfortunately I do hold those qualifications but that is unnecessary for this thread. Nah, I thought i would ramble my resume to yourself similar to what you did to 'prove a point'. Dead end job? yep, right, keep it coming 'fully qualified technician'.
Piece of shit? i5K running at 4.4ghz sitting on 22c aint bad, using an air cooler, some might say, i got a 'good chip'. GTX1070 games quite well. Oh, i also built it myself, if that surprises you. Read my comment above in regards to posting a $3k 'build'. We are all only speculating here, you guys chose the path of going with a $3k budget, I'm going down the path of assuming he has little knowledge and making it cheaper and easier for a novice computer user which does not require/need such a powerful build as he/she won't get the full benefit from it. Think outside the box.
