More is more and although this is very informative , for me pricing is about what I can get when I have the Money and who has the stock at the time.

Why should almost never buy high end components
As fool and his money, as they say, are soon parted, and the marketing departments who work for hardware manufacturers love to trumpet the often superfluous to all but the most demanding hardware "enthusiasts" exclusive or premium features that invariably make such products cost three or more times as much as a more sensible mainboard that would serve as a perfectly adequate base for a PC build, especially for those without the most cavernous of pockets, or with a cavalier approach to credit and living within one's means.
As I discovered after selling my Radeon HD 6870, with very little work, it is often possible to play all but the most cutting edge of titles provided that plot and gameplay are of greater value to you than approaching photo-realism. [Diablo 3 on Intel integrated graphics, for example. ;-) ]

Nice to see CPU prices laid out in a grid format. Give one a good idea of how much variation there is between suppliers (fairly little).

Although its not a problem for me, Pc's do overheat in summer and can cause lasting damage, although its mainly the guys that Overclock that see dramatic temp rises in summer if their cooling isn't done properly. Then there is always our fantastic lightning storms in Jhb...I would advise anyone even with a ups to rather switch off and unplug all you're hardware, not just you're pc. Nice to see a great hardware article that has some tips and helps the not so informed gamers/hardware junkies out there.

Almost started crying after seeing this, spent my last money on a GTX550Ti only to find out there is better Mid range cards out there and PC Format rated this card lower than a long drop's first dump.

What a Mess, I thought Nvidia is going forward, But it looks like they took this one off a truck somewhere. I think my GTS250 is much better.... LOL :)
