Every time I think I've gotten my PC to a point where it can hold its own, ExtremeTech has to go and write up another Killer Gaming Rig article. Their latest build is a bargain at $6448, more than $500 less than their last, though I can see a few places where they've scrimped a bit. A $46 mouse? Surely technology has come up for a way to makes us spend much more on mice than we need to.
Highlights include the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor ($1099), the ASUS GeForce 8800 GTX video card ($1198), and a Dell 30-inch widescreen monitor ($1499).
The closest thing I have to any product they use is a set of $250 speakers, which thanks to apartment living I can never use to full potential. Articles like this allow me to get a good idea of what my PC will be like 5-7 years from now, when all of the expensive parts they use are obsolete and I can finally afford them. In the meantime, I can but drool.
