The following set of videos, is a video review showing you how to build an excellent gaming computer with high-end hardware and accesories.

I found this very helpful, and thought it wouldn't hurt to show you guys how easy it really is to build your own computer.

I wouldn't say this is the biggest guide I found. Reading more than 20 tutorials really does help. But yeah I'd say seeing this guy put his computer together definately boosted my confidence.

That video is a guide. He's not saying if you don't get that stuff then you wont have a nice computer. You can still have a really nice computer for about $800 when everything is all said and done. You just have to know what you are doing when you are picking out things =)

You can build a kick ass rig as he calls it from ANY computer store..NO shipping involved unless you live at the top of a mountain. Exclamation

They don't tell you OVERCLOCKING voids your warranty.
Also any overclocking in the end makes no difference at all or is so slight its useless.

I'm not sure if it was Nick that said it or someone else. If you are overclocking your computer it is time to get a new one =P

Overclocking a brand new PC will just cause it to last shorter. Seriously I got a fan+water cooling combo but I won't bother getting it overclocked.

overclocking is good if you upgrade often cause you're likely to replace the overclocked component well before it dies due to the overclock. ask meganoob. i KNOW that boy must overclock Smile

nike, i cry every time i hear a watercooled system being run on default speeds :P

Oh rly? Well I have an excuse. I probably won't be upgrading this system for a while now.
C'mon give me a break. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz 2Gb Ram, and 7900 GS graphic card. Wtf do I need to overclock for? Im running bf2142 on max settings and my FPS is still fine.
Like I said before, I'll get my sis's bf to overclock my PC when its time to get a new one and I am low on cash. (He will overclock it cause I don't know how but I know you can seriously fck up your PC if you screw up) =D

nike, i'm just messin :P

but ya, building a functional computer is not hard. it does require a little reading to make sure you buy components that work with each other and a lot of patience if something doesn't work like it should.

My overclock has put my computer faster than a AMD FX-63 and about $600 cheaper then that single chip. Not all processors are equal in terms of the OC amount but I find it’s nice to get at least 200 MHz on a small OC a mid will get you 400~600 and a high is 1000+. I'm currently at around 800 MHz OC. 2.4Ghz stock but I’m at 3.24 GHz. I could push it past 3.5 GHz but it’s already fast enough for what I do so once I need it I know I can go further.

OC is not a good idea to do on stock cooling. It’s always best to use a large copper cooling solution. Watercooling is also good but requires filling and cleaning semiannually. I have a friend who just watercooled to reduce the sound but I too feel it was a waste of cash when he could have gotten a huge passive heatsink. Core2duo's are MADE to be OC's the E6300 are getting up to E6700 and beyond easily. My E6600 has passed the Core 2 Extreme X6800(2.93 GHz) easily. It’s all up to the users experience and what they are comfortable with doing.

Overclocking is just a great way to get more then what you paid for safely. Cpu's are the easiest to get good OC returns on, videocards are a different matter... and yes it does v0id the warrenty but its so much fun pushing your system to the limits ^-^
