Ok, anyways, I'm hoping to receive around $950-1000 around Christmas time to build a Gaming PC. It doesn't matter to me if it has up-to-date hardware, I'd just like it to play most games on high settings. I plan to be using it a lot, so a nice cooling system would be great.
dont get alienware
Canada or us.
US
Bump.
Building it or buying a pre-built?
Building it.
Any preferences?

Not really, I'd just like it to run most things on high, and as I stated in OP, a nice cooling system.

Antex Truepowers are not great for the price. You can get a ocz that costs less, performs at a comparable level on average (manufacturing causes differences) for less.
This build was obviously created with europeans in mind. There are better parts for less money in US. I will make a build tommorrow.
no it is also in dollar

I said sapphire because it is 5 dollars cheaper and comes with a free flash drive. I gave the option of 1 or 2 GPUs, because it goes over the budget by a little. Maybe he doesn't have over 1k. Then you can just buy a second 5770 later when you have the money.
Gigabyte is better than ASUS.
speed matters more than timing.
Yes

I don't think your going to notice a difference between 1333 and 1600.

Gigabyte has a better bios and i constructed from better parts.
My opinion is based on those facts

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;18825102]Facts need evidence.[/QUOTE]
Gigabyte's Bios is arguably the best in the price range.
The audio chipset is better.
And it uses Japanese parts. I have to put japanese build quality above most other countries. They are the fine producers of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns, which makes unbelievably durable guns even with the strict restrictions imposed by the government. They also produce high end ESP guitars.
So gigabyte is better because Japanese people make parts for them?

Also, yes, I am asian, although I am neither japanese nor Vietnamese.

In that case I wan't german engineering.!
Also the Japanese (or korean) guitars are considered inferior to usa/europe ones (Ibanez)
Annyways because the country makes some good compleetly unrelated stuff to motherboards doesn't mean they make good motherboards.
