Worst PC You Can Build?

[Khajiit Dealer]

What is the worst PC Build you can build?

Base this on:

-Price to Performance

-Instability of the build

-Nonsensical additions

Please don't cite specific builds of members.

Easy. Take expensive components that don't work together and add a bunch of nonsense additions

[Mohenjo]

Mine . built it when i didn't know much about PCs and ended up spending 1100 dollars on a pretty bad pc (overpriced psu, case, ram etc). My friend had a similar deal. he went to frys with a budget of 1500 dollars since they pick out pc parts and build it for 50 bucks. so for 1500 dollars he got an fx 6100, 16gb of ram, 2tb hard drive space, and a 7850 1gb. he didnt know much about pcs either. he also got a 1200w Power supply. frys completely ripped him off.

That was painful to read.  :lol:

 

 

A lot of prebuilds are bad in terms of price to performance - for example the gimmicky Alienware stuff or some other "gaming" PCs with an i7 and GT720.

Why people buy Alienware perplexes me...I saw an Alienware computer for $4500 and it had a 780 Ti.
