1. Budget & Location
$400USD

any stores in US/Canada

Cannot go over budget

do not count Mail in Rebate

 

2. Aim
Items must be new in box

Must be bought from a store, what store doesn't matter but shipping cost and taxes must be factored into the price

 

The goal of this post is to create the best computer from NIB parts from a store that we can in order to have it compete with the scrapyard wars computers

 

Must be a fully functioning computer with storage, a case... etc, but no OS required.

edit: wow... the fanboyism is real... vote for the build that's actually better not for the popular people on the forum.... I think we all know well people voted for that one person because of the attracting username.

 

Keep in mind, for the benchmarks that the PCs will be tested for, Celeron outperforms A6 and G3258 outperforms 860K. Not to say the same for real-world performance however
