So what’s going on here at PC Tech Advice? Well hopefully everyone has noticed our new review section. Yeah it’s pretty empty right now but I’m doing a few more reviews so we can get a little bit more up there.
Aside from that, I’m forming a section that will be updated frequently (weekly or bi-weekly) with 3 separate builds: budget, mid-level, high-end balls out. Basically it will feature different build criteria that meets with what’s on sale, best things to buy that week/month.
The idea here is to provide a good look at a good system to build for all types of budget. Also we’ll try our best not to be bias based on brand name; Intel vs AMD or ATI vs NVIDIA. The point is to get a good rig for your buck. We may emphasize on a particular manufacturer generally because we’ve had good results from our past builds.
If you have any suggestions about it, please send us an email using our Contact Form. Or feel free to use the comments box.
